A Michigan woman got quite a surprise when she went to her mailbox this week: amid her regular bills and junk mail was a postcard that had been mailed almost 100 years ago
Brittany Keech told CNN that she didn't give the card much thought at first because she was busy with her kids and her daily hustle and bustle."I thought it was very peculiar that I was receiving a postcard because nobody sends postcards anymore nowadays," Keech said."I went 'Okay, this is different.'" Later she noticed that the card was postmarked October 29, 1920.
There's a George Washington one cent stamp on the back and the smudged postmark says Jamestown, but the state appears to be covered by some kind of sticker.Keech, 30, said she has no idea what delayed the card, which was mailed decades before she was born.A spokesperson for the Postal Service told CNN affiliate WXMI that"in most cases these incidents do not involve mail that had been lost in our network and later found.
