Description

Mizpah Lodge US 40 Berthoud Pass Colorado RPPC Vintage Postcard 1940s Mountains. This captivating vintage real photo postcard (RPPC) transports you to the scenic Mizpah Lodge on Highway U.S. 40 at Berthoud Pass, Colorado. The detailed black and white image showcases the lodge with its prominent "EAT" sign, several charming cabins, and a Coca-Cola sign alongside the winding mountain road. The majestic pine-covered slopes of the Rocky Mountains dominate the background, illustrating the rugged beauty of this historic pass. The postcard offers a glimpse into a bygone era of mountain travel and hospitality, likely from the 1940s, given the vehicles visible and the overall style. The reverse side features a green 1-cent George Washington stamp, a clear postmark from Empire, Colorado, and handwritten correspondence from "Mr. & Mrs. Bingman" to "Mr. Harold H. Anderson" in Idaho Springs, Colorado, noting their proximity as "neighbors." This collectible piece captures a significant Colorado landmark and the personal touch of early postcard communication.
