Vintage postcard featuring the Rich Valley Covered Bridge (35‑61‑36) in Sharon Township, Noble County, Ohio. Photographed in July 1966 by E.M. Hall for the Northern Ohio Covered Bridge Society, this view documents the 1895 multiple‑king‑post truss bridge spanning the Olive Green Branch, located about five miles south of Sharon. The bridge was removed in November 1970, making this image an important record of a lost Ohio structure.

Published by Hivnor Card Co. of Zanesville, Ohio, this chrome‑era postcard reflects the regional documentation style used for Ohio’s disappearing covered bridges during the 1960s–70s.

Unposted and well‑preserved, other than slight yellowing on edge, it’s ideal for collectors of Ohio history, covered bridges, and mid‑century photographic postcards. Packaged in protective postcard sleeve.

Just a quick heads‑up: the photos reveal details far better than text alone, so they’re worth a close review.

We share as much accurate information as possible about each item—from provenance to condition—but the images often show the nuances best. If you ever need more details, we’re always happy to help.

Postcard Eras & Collecting Guide

  • Real Photo Postcards (c. 1890–1945)

    Early printed lithographs and Real Photo Postcards (RPPC) offer rich historical detail, documenting towns, events, family portraits, and everyday life. Disaster postcards depicting floods, fires, train wrecks, and other catastrophic events, were a popular way to share news as photographs could quickly be turned into postcards. Many RPPCs are scarce and unique due to their small‑batch production.

  • Pre-Linen Litho & Linen Postcards (c. 1907–1950)

    Pre‑Linen Litho cards (c. 1907–1929) were printed using smooth chromolithography and tinted halftone methods, producing soft, painterly views before the textured linen era. Linen postcards (c. 1930s–1950s) introduced high–rag‑content paper with a woven surface and bold saturated colors that reflected the optimism postwar travel culture. Together, these eras showcase the shift from early color printing.

  • Chrome Postcards (c.1939–)

    Chrome postcards, introduced in 1939, feature glossy surfaces, vivid color, and photographic imagery made possible by modern color film processes. The term “chrome” derives from Kodachrome, Eastman Kodak’s groundbreaking color film. Mid‑century examples depicting motels, highways, city skylines, national parks, and tourist destinations are collected for their documentation of postwar American travel and roadside culture.
