LARGE LETTER LINEN FOLDER CHECKLISTS
A number of large letter postcards were used as the front or back of foldout postcard folders. Some of these large letter folders were the same as their postcard counterparts while others have a varying degree of differences. A few had no postcard counterparts whatsoever such as the Curt Teich large letter folder SEE AMERICA shown below. This SEE AMERICA image was never made into a postcard by Curt Teich and was only used for the back of a foldout postcard folder.

AUDREY BRINKLEY/ELSIE HAWBECKER REAL PHOTO LARGE LETTER POSTCARD CHECKLIST
Audrey Brinkley and Elsie Hawbecker made over 550 real photo large letter postcards over a twenty year period from 1949-1969. Some of their postcards were real photo reproductions of large letter postcards or folders from the time period, while others were handmade, usually using pieces of postcards to form the letters and other parts of the real photo postcard. They also made a number of real photo large letter postcards for the A.S.H.C.(All States Hobby Club), which they were members of. An AB on the postcard signifies it was designed by Audrey Brinkley and an EMH or EH signifies it was designed by Elsie Hawbecker. These postcards have a number on the front or a handwritten number on the back and for some entries can be found with a number on the front or the back for the same entry. For the purposes of this list, if only a number can be found without any initials it was attributed to Audrey Brinkley as she made most of the postcards on this list. This checklist is far from complete as many of these real photo postcards are very scarce.

NORM WEINSTEIN REAL PHOTO LARGE LETTER POSTCARD CHECKLIST
Norm Weinstein of Union, New Jersey, made over 50 real photo large letter postcards from the 1950s-1960s. Most of these postcards begin with an "N" with Mount Rushmore, NL#1, likely being the first one made, and N67, New Haven, likely being the last one made. A few of these postcards have no number, but have the initials NHW or N.H. Weinstein. Others postcards have nothing to indicate they were made by Weinstein other than the similar style to his other postcards and were included on the checklist. There is a gap from N8-N20 which may include some these unnumbered or unmarked postcards Weinstein made.

OSBORN REAL PHOTO LARGE LETTER POSTCARD CHECKLIST
Osborn Studios was located in Pensacola, Florida and made a set of real photo large letter postcards for each of the 48 states in the 1940s. It is believed that Pensacola was the first large letter postcard made by Osborn followed by the smaller versions of the states. Later on, larger versions of these state large letter postcard were made. L.L. Cook also printed a number of these larger versions. It is unknown if Osborn made a complete set of the smaller version of the 48 states as they have not all been found at this time.
