PERRYVILLE, Md. — Gordon Pfeiffer of Wilmington, Del., has made the pilgrimage to the converted automobile showroom four times. Lewis Baer of Penngrove, Calif., said he's flown out several times. David Bower of Philadelphia makes a road trip every two years.
What brings these folks to a quiet stretch of U.S. 40 in Perryville, Md., is Mary L. Martin Ltd. Antique Postcards. All three men are deltiologists — postcard collectors — and Mary L. Martin Ltd. is a legend among enthusiasts.
"Any postcard collector that is vacationing in the area or has relatives near here come by," said Bower, who was spending a recent day off at Mary L. Martin Ltd., browsing through vintage postcards of Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. "It's like going to a museum."
