What a beautiful postcard, Marty! Wish I could help with the
identification, but I would guess you're right about the general
time period.

If you go to my Pinnacle clue page and click on the stamp image, you'll be
able to see a scan of a very old Pinnacle postcard I found at an antique
shop recently. I thought it was interesting! The Pinnace clue page is at:

Marty:
Thanks for sharing the postcard with us. I think you're absolutely right
- tinted B&W photo - I'd guess 1920's give or take a decade.
I've always found it fascinating what post card vendors chose as popular
subject matter. Peaks and pinnacles, mountain sunsets, etc., are
obvious. But, there were also lots of (now) rather ordinary concrete
bridges (new thing in the 20"s) with a 'new' auto parked on them, etc.
I've got a great collection - same style - of scenic Vermont - I love
them!
