Re: Mexican Postcard Mystery (from My Collection)

real tiny, in the center of the line on the back it very clearly reads "agfa". as this is not a word in any language, it may be an acronym.
its the name of the company that printed the postcards. They started out in dyes and moved into imaging and printing, and used to make real-photo postcards.

Re: Mexican Postcard Mystery (from My Collection)

the size in inches imo

Regular (or Standard) size: 3 1/2 X 5 1/2 (9 cm X 14 cm) Many of the older cards are of this size.
Continental Size

4X6 inches (15 cm X 10.5 cm) Many of the new cards you purchase today are of this size. Mostly published after the 1940's.

OverSized
Anything larger than a continental size. Mostly 5X7 inches, but some can be found in larger sizes. Although this size of cards is popular with postcard companies and tourists, many collectors do not want them because they are more expensive, not easily filed, cost more to mail, and harder to trade with others. The advantage is of course the more detailed view of the scenes shown on the cards.

Modern Size
These are about 6 1/2 X 4 3/4 inches. They are often classified as a smaller type of oversized card.
Kelly, you are a fountain of knowledge and I appreciate you!!!
