This vintage postcard features the Trailer Estates on Sarasota Bay, located midway between Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida along U.S. 41. The front displays two bright lithograph images: the top image shows ten of thirty shuffleboard courts with people playing, a recreation building, and a scenic view of Sarasota Bay with palm trees swaying, while the bottom image highlights a typical trailer and cabana set on a lush, well-manicured lot. The postcard's vibrant colors and chrome finish showcase mid-20th century leisure lifestyle and residential design. Published by Lionel Murphy of Sarasota, Florida and printed by Dexter Press, Inc., this original lithograph postcard dates from the 1950s, evident from the 2-cent stamp featuring Thomas Jefferson and the postmark from Bradenton. The card measures the standard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches and includes a handwritten message adding to its nostalgic appeal. This collectible postcard is a wonderful piece for those interested in vintage Florida history, mid-century recreational communities, and classic postcard collecting.
