This is a postcard that says greetings from Roscoe NY. and the caption:
 "Covered bridge on the Willowemoc". 

It isn't the bridge on Mott's flats because the river is wrong and there is a steep bank on the left.

It could be the bridge in town before the iron bridge - there river looks right

Any thoughts?

This is the DeBruce Inn or the Homestead as the caption calls it.

Lenape Lake Fishing Club
 Livingston Manor, NY

This postcard is 1940s vintage - Dated 10/5 3PM 1948.  Written to my Mother by her Aunt Francis Marble Kaetor.  Uncle Harvey & Aunt Francis were caretakers of this club for a while in the mid to late 40s. 
As a teenager, I remember going there to square dances on a Saturday.  Seemed to be a neighborhood thing for awhile.

Speaking of stuff from the attic.  This is a scan of the label portion of an (empty) package that we discovered while doing some demolition work on our house in the Manor.  I thought some folks might be interested.  I believe that Stevens had a hardware store in town and apparently received something in this package from Stevens arms in 1909.  Incidentally, the house seems to have been built in 1909 judging from dates on newspapers found under the wall coverings in various rooms.
