My Grandpa the Cyko Cop (Postcard Friendship Friday)
Postcard Friendship Friday always seems to start on Thursday, but I am not sure which time. So here is my early entry. It is a Ckyo brand "Real Photo" postcard. Cyko postcards were printed from 1904 into the 1920s. This photo is from around 1925. It shows my grandfather on a small-town police force. Until now, I did not know he was a policeman. But I did know he had a lot of different jobs.

That's really cool. I wish I had something like that for my grandfather.
Great picture...and I like your play on words.
What a treasure! I wish I had a cool post card of one of my family members. Neat photo too.
I wish my family had kept more pictures.
Seems like every time I turn around, I find 50 or 60 more.
Wow! What a treasure!!!!
Glad to see that he is Cyko and not Psycho! What was your Grandfather's name? I wish I knew when PFF started too:)
Wow, that is quite unique. How fun to have an actual postcard of your grandfather! Thank you for sharing him with us, and a happy PFF to you!
My grandfather was a Border Patrolman and Customs officer at Sweetgrass, Montana in the early '50s, and I have a picture of him just like this one!
I'm very glad I wasn't the only person who though Psycho! It's so good that you have these cards and photos, as a record of your family. I am more and more aware of the importance.
How wonderful that you have this card and know more about your grandfather.
This is a wonderful thing to have of your granddad. It's funny that we all have relatives that had interesting lives and we usually know so little about them.
Very cool! Must be grandaddy Thursday!
that is so cool that you just learned that about him through this card. What a great thing to have and thanks for sharing!
Brim over I assent to but I dream the brief should prepare more info then it has.
