This terrific illustration is of a crescent moon in profile, complete with monocle and mustache, dressed for a night out with a top hat and cane. This chromolithograph illustration is embossed, and is sharp and clear. The poem at the top reads: “I’m a masher, and I’m sweet on the gels, I’ll tell you the reason why, I’m copying the gay city swells, Which every night I espy”. The card was published by P B F, and is #6283 and #6286. There is a partial postmark which I think is 1906. The card is in ...

This early postcard has an illustration of two boys in a canoe, with the fat one in front. The caption at the bottom reads: “Everything is Swell!” The card has not been mailed but a child has made a start at a message by writing “Dear Dad” on the left side, and his father’s name on the right.

$6 USDTwo Comic Postcards with a Corset Girdle Theme
Postcards:Comic
These two funny linen-finish postcards have a similar theme of women wearing girdles. One card has two women taking turns to wear their one girdle that they share; the other shows a woman being tugged and pushed into her lace-up corset. Both date to the 1940s (one is postmarked 1947). They are both in very good condition. One has not been mailed, the other has a neatly written message. These postcards will be packaged in a rigid plastic sleeve and bubble envelope, and shipped by first class mail ...

$10 USDPretty Girls Illustration Signed Wall on Clever Postcard
Postcards:Comic
The illustration (signed Wall) is of five pretty young women, each with a different hairstyle or hat. The text refers to Woman as a Volume of Tenderness and suggests “Get a Copy”. The thing I like best about this postcard is the teasing message on the back, which reads: “Why don’t you get a copy? Is it the ‘last chance’ or is it not.” The card is soiled and browned but there are no creases or tears. It is postmarked 1913 (or 1918?), and mailed to a gentleman in Fullerton, California. The stamp ...
$8 USDColorful Comic Illustrated Postcard, Dated 1906
Postcards:Comic
This colorful comic postcard is printed in red and yellow, and shows a woman with a large hat and parasol seated on a bench. Standing behind her is a man with his hands over her eyes. The caption above reads: “Is that you, Charley?” This is an undivided back postcard, postmarked 1906. Although this date is too early to be an actual representation of Charlie Chaplin, it’s not difficult to imagine that he might have derived his famous Tramp character from a similar image. Condition is good, with ...
