Back of postcard of new pavilion and pier, Long Beach, California, 1906

 

1906

 

 

This postcard was mailed before postal regulations changed to allow messages on the back, but evidently return addresses were allowed. Many people took advantage of the space to write messages, despite warnings like that printed on this side. There are two legible postmarks, one from the receiving and one from the sending post offices. There are also an intact postage stamp, a special cancellation, a seller's mark, and a legible address handwritten in black ink.
