This postcard-- published by O'Brien Color Studios out of Daytona Beach, Florida-- shows two aspects of the "GAMECOCK MOTEL AND DINING ROOM On U. S. 15A and U. S. 301, 11 miles south of Summerton at Santee, S. C."

The postcard was postmarked in late October of 1962 in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and sent to Garden City, Nassau County, Long Island, New York

After many years the postcard may show some typical wear.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then purchase confidently.

For a domestic mailing, I'll send your postcard free of charge with standard first class shipping within the United States. In the effort to keep our costs down, I tend to trust our postal service and it works out great "99.9%" of the time. Moreover, in my experience "postcard enthusiasts" are a great community of people who are collaborative and don't take advantage of each other; therefore, I typically do not feel the need to drive up your costs so that I can later prove successful delivery-- I trust you. However, if you want to purchase certified mail services (includes tracking), then please send me a message so that we can make arrangements.


Thanks for considering this keepsake.
