CATALOGUE OF LINWOOD PARK and
VERMILION, OHIO POSTCARDS
In the collection of RAY BOAS

Here is a "work in progress" begun in April, 2002.  I currently have over 150 postcards in my collection, and hope to have this page completed this month.  Of course, it will never be complete as I do hope to continue to acquire cards for my collection.

The listings below are formated thus:
Category (I have assigned categories to the cards based upon the view and its location in the park or town)
Title of the card on the front
Type of card (visit our postcard history page)
Information on rear of card - which may include additional publishers numbers, and any message of interest
(150) - indicates the card record number in our database which will also be noted with our illustrations

IMPORTANT!!!  If you have a card that does not appear here please contact me. Thank you, yours, RAY
