Vintage Postcard Lot San Francisco Golden Gate Cable Car Fishermans Wharf BART
This 4-postcard lot captures iconic sights of San Francisco, California. Features the Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach, a crowded cable car on Powell Street, an atmospheric night view of Alioto's at Fisherman's Wharf, and commuters inside a modern BART station.
Captures the bustling postwar tourism boom of Northern California. The cable car scene shows passengers packed onto the running boards past a prominent "Woolworth's" sign. The Fisherman's Wharf card highlights Alioto's No. 8, one of the city's oldest historic seafood destinations, founded by Sicilian immigrants. The BART card features a unique novelty design on the front right margin made to replicate an early magnetic strip commuter ticket with an arrow graphic reading "Insert This Side Up."
