Beautiful Brant Heinzelman\'s Point New York NY 1900s Lake Erie Rowboat Postcard
Heinzelman\'s Point at Brant, New York, on the shores of Lake Erie, became a modest local recreation spot as lakeside leisure and small-boat boating grew in popularity in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century; the 1906 dated view captures the era\'s emphasis on day excursions, informal rowing and shoreline promenades used by residents and visitors to enjoy the region\'s scenic hills and lake vistas.

📅 Postmark & Stamp
**Stamp**: One cent U.S. postage stamp, green in color, depicting Benjamin Franklin. The stamp is from the \"SERIES 1902\" and states \"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA\" and \"POSTAGE ONE CENT\". The dates \"1706 FRANKLIN 1790\" are also visible.
**Postmark**: A partial circular postmark is visible, canceling the stamp. The location appears to be **SARATOGA, N.Y.** The day of the month is clearly **20**. The month and year are not visible.
Postmark location appears to be Saratoga, N.Y. but the full date (month/year) is not legible.
🏛️ Publisher & Postal Note
The prominent stylized text \"POST CARD\" is visible at the top. No other publisher information or specific postal service notes (like \"Writing on this part permitted...\") are visible.
📌 Context
The stamp is a 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp from the Series of 1902-03 (Scott #300 or #301, depending on perforation, which isn\'t visible here). This series was first issued in 1902, indicating the postcard was mailed sometime between 1902 and approximately 1908 when the next definitive series was released, or later as these stamps remained valid. The 1-cent rate was the standard postcard rate for domestic mail in the United States during this period.
The address \"Adirondack, Warren County, New York\" refers to a region within the Adirondack Park in New York state. Saratoga County is adjacent to Warren County, making \"Saratoga, N.Y.\" a plausible postmark origin for mail destined for the Adirondack region.
There is a faint, circled \"25\" handwritten in the upper right corner of the postcard itself, which is likely a dealer\'s or collector\'s notation rather than an official postal mark.
