These include a couple in a convertible, a tobacco leaf, a peach, a Holstein cow, a couple in a canoe, a bell, a bucket, a sailor, a sailboat, golfers, bathers, and a young man and a young woman in mortarboards.

The Connecticut Turnpike, which appears as complete on the postcard, was completed in 1964. The automobile depicted on the card plus the overall style of the card suggest a date in the 1960s.
