Wonderful that you went to the trouble of passing them down a generation or two in an appropriate way! They will be far more meaningful than if you had simply handed the cards to them.

Cherie found a four-inch stash of saved cards addressed to her grandfather, John Bender, circa 1900-1910 when he was a young student in Wisconsin, all in color and often with rudimentary (but apparently successful) addresses. Took several years but now dispersed via USPS to our kids, grandkids, nieces/nephews and her five sisters in a dozen zip codes.

She did screen for an inverted Jenny but none found. . . . .
