The Big Fish That Didn't Get Away


Tall tale or fish story?  In this case, it is the big fish that is so big two men are holding it up for the photo--and this one didn't get away!


Most of the postcards I am interested in are used and have a message written on them, but this one captivated me when I saw it.

The young man, maybe a grandson with a big grin looks a bit like Jimmy from the old Superman TV series.  The older gent in his plaid flannel shirt has a face with classic features and an expression that brings on a smile.  I am certain that both are holding the fish up, but cannot quite see how the man on the right is participating.

This is a glossy photo postcard. A knowledgeable person who knows their cars might be able to identify  the era even with just the little bit of car that can be seen, but I am not one of those people.

The caption tells us tht the photo was snapped at Fort Frances, Canada, located along the Minnesota/Canadian border.  That is Frances with an E, not an I, names after Frances, the wife of Sir George Simpson  (Frances with an E for her, Francis with an I for him).

This undivided back post card, at least the blank, was published in Toronto, Canada, by Rumsey and Co., Ltd.

This vintage collectible postcard has now sold on ETSY.
