Winnipesaukee Fanfold Postcards from 1912

While my wife & I were in Chicago visiting my son (and his family) for Thanksgiving earlier this week we happened to stop by a collectibles store where we found the following fanfold postcard packet while browsing/killing time. The package of postcards was mailed in 1912 (a hundred years ago!) from a camper at Camp Idelwild on Cow Island (in existence 1892 - 1975) to a friend in Ohio. All of the postcards (and envelope) are in excellent condition. I don't typically purchase postcards so I don't know how unusual this "find" is but for $2.00 I figured that I'd splurge. I thought that some of you might be interested in seeing them!
