This vibrant vintage chrome postcard beautifully captures the Winfield Motel in West Winfield, New York, nestled along scenic Route 20 in the heart of the picturesque Mohawk Valley. The image showcases the classic mid-century motel architecture, featuring a long, single-story building with individual room entrances and a prominent front office section. Several period-appropriate automobiles are visible in the parking area, adding to the nostalgic charm of the scene. The foreground features a well-maintained grassy lawn, contrasting with the clear blue sky above, and distant hills hint at the surrounding rural landscape. Published by Dukane Press Inc. of Hollywood, Florida, this postcard is a prime example of the popular chrome era, known for its vivid colors and crisp details. The reverse side provides fascinating details about the establishment, including its amenities like TV, tile baths, and heating, highlighting the comforts offered by owners Dan and Charlotte Rondinone. This piece serves as a delightful historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the roadside hospitality and travel culture of a bygone era in upstate New York.

  1. Ralph was so wonderful to buy from! I truly appreciated that he took the time to write a beautiful and thorough description of the postcard details -- the first I've seen! The postcard arrived exactly as described and even more perfect than pictured. Shipping was fast! He included a handwritten "thank you" note which was so thoughtful. When I inquired about delivery (as I wasn't familiar with the eBay tracking process), Ralph took the time to answer me promptly and with clarification. Thank you!

  3. Excellent seller. The vintage postcard of the USS America is exactly as described with fast shipping, sturdy, protective packaging and a great value for the price! Especially since the ship is now a fish habitat and no more photos or post cards will ever be made of her again! Thank you for providing these keepsakes at affordable prices!
