The Postcard Gazette

WELCOME TO THE POSTCARD GAZETTE!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

FIRECRACKER BABY



A buddy who got me started on postcard collecting & dealing covets this card from my collection largely, I think, because of the politically-incorrect nature of the image. Who - even in 1910 or so - thought it was okay to hand a toddler a large firecracker?! Maybe it's a candle, but that would only make it slightly less dangerous! We call this untitled card "Firecracker Baby". This conversation piece has been well worth its purchase price of $0.99 on eBay several years ago.

Enjoy the 4th everyone - but, hey, let's be careful with those fireworks: TODDLERS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

WELCOME to THE POSTCARD GAZETTE, an occasional blog on the world of postcarding. I hope you'll find something of interest & amusement here as time goes on.

All the best,

mac-2-mac
