Hoffman & Son of Harrisburg and printed by Curt Teich & Co. of Chicago, is a collectible example of American regional postcards from the 1930s-1940s era. The back includes handwritten notes about Pennsylvania's admission to the Union in 1787 and Harrisburg's settlement in 1682, adding to its historical charm and personal touch.
