  • Read about the history of the famous Coquina Clock Tower - click here: Clock Tower Story

Vintage and antique Post Cards provide an interesting glimpse into social history, cultural history, fads and the material values of their time. Post Cards came into popular use in the 1890s. Post Card collecting is known as "deltiology" and is one of the most popular, and affordable, hobbies in the United States, Canada and internationally.

The following vintage post cards, with Daytona Beach's Coquina Clock Tower in view, surely show how the culture, skyline and shoreline area has changed over the years. (These vintage post cards are organized by age [oldest first.])
