Hi All, Duane Bargar here, yes, of the Bargar Jewelry family. The postcards and assorted images presented on this site are all from my personal collection, which is neither for sale nor a commercial pursuit. Most of the cards and images here are from the late 19th and early 20th century and a few as late as the 1960s and 70s.
I created this page as a small token of appreciation for the history of the town that shapped me. Born in 1975 (at Riverside in Columbus, but consider myself a Delaware native) and lived my young life in Delaware, Ashley, and mostly in the Historical District of Stratford, before moving away a couple times and now presently residing in New Mexico.
I suspect that this page might only be the start of more in depth documentation of Delaware on my part, but I thought it would be a enjoyable thing to exhibit during Delaware's 200th Anniversary.
I gladly welcome any additional information, comments, corrections, or the like for the site. Please feel free to contact me with any of the above at
