WHAT'S NEW - 2008 SHOW SCHEDULE - ABOUT POSTCARDS - POSTCARD BOOKS

WHAT IS THE OLD POST OFFICE ?

The Old Post Office is actually just that, a beautiful and majestic three story building constructed of Indiana Limestone and completed in 1916.  The building was originally home to the Western Nebraska Federal Court and Post Office for McCook, Nebraska.  The Federal Court was moved to North Platte, NE in the 1950s when other State and Government agencies took up office space in the building.  In the 1980s a new post office was built several blocks to the West of the original building.  The building sat vacant for a number of years before being purchased by Nathan's parents, David and Sharon Huegel.  It is now our residence as well as our Antique and Postcard Shop.  You can visit either of our shops in person at the top of the Main Street on Norris Avenue in the wonderful downtown shopping area of McCook year-round by chance or by appointment. Our Family has been in the Antique Business for over 30 years.  Nathan has been dealing exclusively in postcards, photographs, and misc. paper ephemera since 1999 and has developed an extensive clientele.  In 2005, Nathan's wife Crystal joined him in the business and now attends some of the shows and helps him stay on task.   We have a reputation for being fair and honest in our dealings and love to build solid relationships with our clients.  If we haven't done business with you yet, we hope to have that opportunity in the near future.  If you have postcards that you are wanting to sell please click here.

WHAT WILL YOU FIND HERE ?

We specialize in better photo postcards and Nebraska Postcards.  While there are hundreds of Nebraska postcards listed alphabetically by town in the card index links at the left you would need to come visit us or request the town you are looking for from our inventory of nearly 10,000 Nebraska cards.  Please stop by often and check the What's NEW page to see new merchandise.  We try to provide information on each card including the postmark (and date if possible), image description and condition.  Any other information needed maybe obtained by email.  Not all of the postcards have scanned images at this time but we will gladly scan any views you are interested in if you contact us.  If you are looking for a particular card, town or type of card just let us know via email and We will get back with you promptly.  If we don't have it now, chances are we can find it for you. We have a real appreciation for better real photo postcards picturing Real Photo Americana, Social History or US State Views and have thousands of those types of cards in my inventory.  Although the card indexes at left are mostly Nebraska views we do have many other States and Topics available for sale.  Please feel free to contact us about your collecting interest.  The following US States have pages on the website with scans of the cards: IDAHO.   We are hoping to get the site updated with additional State and real photo topical views as time allows.  If you are ever traveling through the Midwest you can always stop and visit us in person.  We are approximately 70 miles South of I-80 / North Platte and 90 miles North of I-70.  The McCook area has lots to offer with a nice retail district, parks, museums, hunting, fishing, and several lakes within a 30 mile radius.  There is plenty of quality lodging and even a free campground.  Find out more about McCook here.
