"Vintage" for sure. I remember seeing postcard booklets like this just about everywhere that might attract a momentary tourist when I was a kid. One more victim of the Internet and the QR code, I guess.

Postcards in general are pretty much going the way of the Dodo. The ones on offer in today's souvenir shops are usually dull and/or unimaginative images easily outdone by something you could capture on a cellphone. To me, the packets from what I would call "the golden age" are just more interesting, especially when they include mini-essays promoting the locale or attraction.

It's a real treat to come across a box of these in an antique collective stall, but it's frustrating when the vendor prices them way too high ($8-$10 as opposed to $5 or less) I wonder sometimes if they really want to sell them.
