Postcard stamped in 1920 delivered a century later

We’ve all likely experienced delays with the post office, but probably not like this. A Belding woman says she just got a postcard yesterday that was postmarked 100 years ago.

“Yea, that’s a little too slow,” Brittany Keech said about a potential USPS delay in delivering a postcard.
When she walked to her mail on Tuesday, she had no idea what she was about to find.

“It was sitting right on top of the mail,” she said. It was an old Halloween postcard that was possibly lost in the mail.

“I start looking at it, and I’m like, ‘ok it’s been through some wear and tear’’, she said.
You can see just how old it is. There’s a George Washington one-cent stamp in the corner, and a postmark of October 29th, 1920, from Jamestown.

Brittany talked about the front of the card that fits with this time of year.
“It shows a witch with a cat and a goose and an owl and says, ‘Halloween greetings. Which would you rather be? A goose or a pumpkin head?’
The writing is old and in cursive and addressed to a Roy McQueen on Division Street.
