    Description

    This was originally owned by the wife of a Mill Man from Seoul Mining Company. Her name was Mabel Leeke and his name was Dana Leeke. They were from the United States, but had moved to Korea to work at both the Hol Kol and Tul Mi Chung mines, mining for gold and copper, between 1911-1919. Mabel liked to collect postcards, take photos, and write short journal entries, memories, and descriptions on them. You'll find many of them in my store (although they're quickly disappearing).
