On the front is the postcard caption  “Easter Wishes – We’re happy and hope you are too.”

The sender wrote,  “Did you ever see such a funny school!  love from Morton[?] and Mrs. Binder”

Addressed to:   Miss Consuella”

Country scene of three adorable bunnies in “school” or perhaps “church” on Easter Sunday, receiving some instruction from their bunny teacher or pastor. The students or parishioners each wear a white collar and a differently colored necktie. One holds a top hat and cane, and another rests his paws on an overturned clay pot that held daffodils. The kindly-looking bunny schoolmaster or pastor, wears wire rimmed spectacles, green striped pants, a purple coat with tails, and is holding a book. The caption on the front  “We’re happy and hope you are too”  is just so typically charming of old postcards; they so often contain phrases that we would not find on cards nowadays.

The unknown publisher is another one for the mystery category (yet to be created). I’ve seen the same design of the postcard back on other cards showing up online except without the S in oval design, and one of those cards was dated 1917, so this is just a general guess for the approximate date on this one.

Divided back, unused postcard with writing. Publisher unknown. Year unknown, circa 1917. Series 1414 E. Made in the U.S.A. Possible publisher logo shows a cursive capital S inside an oval, with the bottom part of the S flowing outside the oval.

Price:  $8.00
