Five Mile Point Otsego Lake Cooperstown NY

This early tinted postcard features Five Mile Point on Otsego Lake near Cooperstown New York. A classic lakeshore view, the scene shows shaded trees along the shoreline, a beached boat, calm water reflecting the sky, and distant hills. Published by Valentine & Sons. Postmarked East Meredith NY on November 2 1909 and received in Oneonta two days later, the card carries a one cent Franklin stamp. Light age wear, surface rubs, and a handwritten name on the lower right front are present. This is an appealing and historic early Otsego Lake postcard ideal for Cooperstown and lakefront collectors.
