🔮Halloween Series 298 Postcard🔮
🎃 DESCRIPTION
Add a touch of early 20th-century magic to your collection with this authentic antique Halloween postcard. Published as part of the highly collectible "Series No. 298 Hallowe'en 6 designs", this charming piece encapsulates the whimsical artistry of holiday ephemera from the Golden Age of postcards.
The front features a color illustration of a whimsical little girl witch dressed in a blue cloak and pointed hat. She stands over a classic three-legged boiling cauldron, using a stick to stir a swirling, magical potion that sends plumes of white steam into the air. Enhancing the spooky atmosphere is a bold yellow horizontal background frieze decorated with a stylized row of flying black bats. The hand-lettered text reads, "Hallowe'en Greeting."
The reverse side remains unposted and features a clean, divided back format with dedicated spaces "For Correspondence" and "For Address Only" typical of the 1907–1915 era. It includes the series identification printed vertically along the left edge and an empty stamp box denoting the standard domestic one-cent postage rate. A pristine example of American holiday history!
