Here you will find all of my postcards I've collected over the years. In some ways, this is my attempt to rebuild my Grandfathers' massive collection - or at least a part of it. He had just about every card there ever was for Tuscarawas County. It's too bad he didn't live long enough to get into Ebay and enjoy the internet. He would of loved the daily hunting online to build his collection. His collection since his passing was seperated and some of it was lost to time unfortunately.
His collection consisted of places all over Ohio and beyond, I'm mainly concentrating on Tuscarawas County Ohio cards. Also because I consider that my home town as well even though I wasn't born there. It's where I grew up through the 6th grade and contain some of my best memories as a kid in a small town. I lived there again years later with my Grandfather after I got out of the military. I especially love all the trips I took with my grandfather all around Ohio and surrounding states. We were constantly going to a flea market, antique shop or something. I was the designated driver for him and his group of friends. Alot of the time, we just went somewhere just to go. I think he is where I inherited the collecting bug which is never satisfied.
Thanks to my Grandfather Joseph Charlton - the GREATEST local historian.
