I am, somewhat embarrassingly, mesmerized by the strikingly consistent (yet, not even in the second two postcards, identical) flying letters in the typed addresses, as well as the strikingly consistent (yet, not even in the first two postcards, identical) jaunty angle of the stamps.
Yes! Detective novels of a certain age talk about the recognizable 'handwriting' of different typists, and I always looked askance at that. But you can totally tell that the Pineview Clinic had a stable clerical staff during the mid-60s -- Ralph Hiebel's secretary has a distinct touch on the keys and even the stamps.
Looks like the Montgomery post office got a new cancellation machine in 1966.
The typewriter was set on single-space for the last one...
Brilliant...
