Vintage Souvenir Postcard Packet – Missouri Ozarks
Publisher: Ozark Post Card Publishers, Monett, MO
Packet cover marked “20 Views” but this set contains 22 linen postcards
Of the 22 cards, 2 are slightly smaller than the others – likely a factory variation or bonus substitution, adding to the uniqueness of this packet
Scenes include:
Night view of Bagnell Dam and Lake of the Ozarks
Niangua Bridge, U.S. Hwy 54 near Camdenton
Fishing and boating scenes on the rivers
Scenic bluffs, roads, bridges, and Ozark countryside
Historic mills and springs
Era & Details:
Linen postcard stock, vivid period colors
Postage panel shows 1½¢ rate (in use 1928–1952; linen era peak 1930s–40s)
Designed as a fold-out souvenir packet that could be mailed
Condition:
All 22 postcards intact and brightly colored
Light age-toning and typical edge/corner wear to outer packet
Overall very good vintage condition
Special Note:
Most packets are complete at 20 views. This one has 22 views, with two cards slightly smaller than the rest. A neat variation that makes this packet stand out from ordinary sets and a great conversation piece for collectors of Missouri or Ozarks ephemera.
