We fell in love with this one as soon as we saw it. We've seen human hair-applied postcards before, but this one feels so wistful...almost haunted :)
The card is composed of two sheets of thin card stock. They are not attached to each other. If you look at our fourth listing image, you will see a scan of another card produced by the same maker as ours (the card on the fourth listing image is not offered for sale. it is not even our card). Note that in this case, the two sheets of stock are sewn together. We wonder a little if flower petals or some such could have been stitched between them! How romantic that would be :)
Please note that at some point over the last century or so, some little insects feasted on our card. No evidence of their presence now. We're sure that whatever was tasty has long since faded away into nothing. If the idea of a moth-eaten postcard offends some of our customers, we understand completely, while some others, like us, may find this item even more charming with its antique "lace work."
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
