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.])
