1949 Postcard to John Pilatti: I am a document examiner and journalist. Once in awhile, I will purchase a batch of documents for use in my work and run across something that has a family name attached to it.
This is one of those times.
This postcard was mailed to John Pilatti on June 20, 1949. It belongs in someone's family collection.
The front of the card is a black and white image of a building at sunset that the card indicates was located in Nevada. You can reach me at [contact link]
