🔔 DESCRIPTION
Add a touch of turn-of-the-century charm to your collection or holiday decor with this authentic, antique Thanksgiving postcard. The beautifully detailed, embossed illustration features a young boy in a rich red velvet suit driving a cart overflowing with a holiday harvest (including a roasted turkey and fruits) pulled by two large, proud turkeys. An early 46-star American flag sits at the back of the basket, giving this piece a fantastic patriotic flair.
The reverse side shows a distinct, clear postmark from November 25, 1908, sent from Salem, New Jersey, complete with an original green 1-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp. It features a sweet handwritten message signed "With Love From Uncle Walter." Perfect for ephemera collectors, Thanksgiving tablescapes, or antique framed art displays.
