Description

Check it out...Here's a classic scarce 5 1/2" wide by 4 1/4" tall foldout mailer card from a 1950-60s Era motor court motel in Monticello, Florida-The mailer pictures the Motel sign & reads: "Georgia-Florida Motor Court Phone 265 (on US 19) Monticello, Florida. W.J. Reddock (Manager)" with a mailer design on front-Back pictures the front of the motel with all of the amenities listed-The mailer folds open to reveal more photos and information about the motel and has a sheet of stationary inset inside that has been used with a handwritten NON-PC message reading (in part): "We are at dinner at Howard Johnsons Columbus, Ga. We saw a lot of Red dirt and Ga. Roads, negros, negros cabins, magnolias, trees, boogavillas, azalillys and pecans. Etrhel saw a little negro girl bare footed at chipley, ga. She yelled to her get your shoes on but of course she doesn't like to see any one bare footed..."- The handwritten letter is GREAT and has more travel content- The item has some wear consistent with age & normal use and has partially split at the folds- What a neat vintage item! Still, how many of these throwaway items survived at all? This is an ORIGINAL item, NOT A REPRODUCTION item! Postage information is listed at the bottom-$ 4.95 postage is required.

Payment
We accept Paypal payments.
Shipping
We will try and combine shipping on multiple purchases wherever possible. Please e-mail us with auction item numbers before sending payment.
However, if the items are heavy or require special packing / tracking, the postal rates might not be significantly reduced. We no longer ship overseas first class mail. We will only ship Internationally by Priority Mail, and that starts at .00. So please be aware that we NO LONGER SHIP FIRST CLASS MAIL INTERNATIONALLY unless seller agrees to ship by USPS Priority mail at an increased rate. Postage rates are non-negotiable and non-refundable. We pack every item professionally using new packing materials and appropriate mailing supplies. We send all items via US Postal Service.The U.S.Postal service rates change fairly regularly every year and we don't make money on postage like some other ebay sellers. I think you'll find that we're quite fair.
Thank-you!
Terms of Sale
I try and place a penny in every photo to help judge the size of the item, obviously it is there for size comparison and is not included with the item. The standard sized Lincoln head penny in the photograph is there for size comparison ONLY and is not included in the package. We're just trying to help you figure out how big the item is. We try and always be as accurate as we can in the item
description and will gladly answer any question about item size & description when needed. Please e-mail us with any questions BEFORE the end of sale and BEFORE placing a bid. Postage is determined by the U.S. Postal service and is never refundable. Many of the items are VINTAGE and although they are in very fine condition, they may not function as well as when they were made decades ago. So if you intend on using the old item, please be aware that we are selling it for collector value only. In other words, if you intend on using a 50+ year old letter opener and it breaks, don't get mad at us. It may be hard to believe, but we have received a couple negatives because people broke vintage items while trying to use them.
