David Sklow U.S. Mint Postcard Collection

The David Sklow collection of Philadelphia Mint postcards is posted in our Archive section at https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/526626. This collection contains over 100 different postcards depicting the first through fourth Philadelphia Mints. The heydey of card production was clearly in the early 1900s, when the newly built 3rd Mint showcased the Mint Cabinet to full effect, attracting thousands of souvenir-hungry visitors. These recollections survive to the present day in the form of these vintage and often colorful images of the various Mints.
