POSTCARD MYSTERY SOLVED — Welcome to 1920s Seminole, OK!

POSTCARD MYSTERY SOLVED — Welcome to 1920s Seminole, OK! 

I’ve been playing historical detective this week, squinting at old brickwork, zooming in on horse-drawn wagons, and matching fonts like a turn-of-the-century CSI — and guess what?

This postcard scene is 100% Seminole, Oklahoma, straight from the roaring days of the 1920s oil boom! 🛢️💥

✨ Thanks to the keen eyes and stories shared in the Forgotten Oklahoma group, I went from “Could this be Seminole, NE?” to “Yep, this muddy, bustling, wagon-draggin’ downtown is definitely Seminole, OK!”

💡 Just look at these details:

  • “ARMSTRONG & DAY DRUG STORE” painted on the wall? Check.

  • “Palace Clothiers,” Florsheim Shoes, and that proud little Coca-Cola sign? All match confirmed historic businesses in Seminole.

  • One eagle-eyed group member even pointed out this building as the former 210 E. Broadway, now being lovingly revived (check out this cool article).

🛒 And fun twist: I found the exact same postcard listed on eBay for $69.99! 😲 I’m not saying I struck oil, but someone might be sitting on a paper goldmine.
Check it out here

📍📸 Location pinpointed: Main & Broadway, Seminole, OK, during one of the rowdiest chapters of Oklahoma's oil-soaked history.

Stay curious, Vagabonders — because every dusty photo tells a story. And sometimes it sells on eBay for $70. 😉
