FT-17 tank on real photo postcard.  This type was used in WWI and WWII although this particular image is on a Czech postcard with a message dated May 1934 and, I assume, in Czech service.  Unless it broke down in the next 5 years, it very well may have seen service in WWII (they were also used in the Spanish Civil War--and up to 1944, when the Germans used them in Paris against the Resistance.)
the 'FT' is the designation for Renault manufacture; models had only machine guns, 37mm guns and 75mm guns.  this one looks like a 37mm gun mounted.

Just dug out the actual postcard and find that it was mailed and the postmark is from 1934.
