I really like sentimental old postcards, particularly the 'hands across the sea' type like this one. It's amazing how many have survived in good condition - this one's 105 years old. I've uploaded several more to my Archive blog; you can find them here.
I love the way you can see where the writer has dipped the pen in the ink and then it gradually fades.

That's quite fascinating to me, I used to live an hour away from Colchester!
