Description: This is a genuine vintage postcard from 1906, featuring a vibrant scene on the front titled "7444 - Fishing Pier and Fishing Yacht, 'Emma B.,' Asbury Park, N.J." The image shows a crowded pier with spectators, a sailboat on the water, and a small rowboat near the pier. A handwritten message is visible on the front reading: "Dear Flora When is it you are coming? Must be soon. Next Thurs. is the Masquerade Ball Have a Bring your suite lovingly. Clay."

The back of the postcard is addressed to "Miss Floretta Van Horn, 2483 Boulevard, Jersey City, N.J." It features the classic "Post Card" design with "THIS SIDE FOR THE ADDRESS" and has a 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp affixed in the upper right corner, clearly cancelled with a "JUL 19 1906" postmark. This postcard offers a detailed glimpse into early 20th-century New Jersey shore life, entertainment, and postal history.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Minor corner and edge wear consistent with age. Some light surface discoloration and a faint diagonal scuff visible on the left side of the front image. The image is clear with good contrast, and both the handwritten message and addressed information are legible. Light tanning and minor surface wear on the back. The stamp and postal markings are distinct.
