Beautiful bun looking out from a bouquet of lilies, forget-me-nots and lilies of the valley. “Easter Greetings”  is the caption in silver lettering, the bouquet is tied with a pink ribbon, and the card has a lavender-mauve border (more of a mauve color on the left owing to some color fading.)

This postcard may be related to the one put up directly prior to this one, as it is addressed to  “J.[?] A. Barker Jr. Oakland Calif.”  and dated  “March the 18th, 1913. From Grandma Thomas.”  (The prior was from Allen Barker.) This one, like the other, was never postmarked.

Divided back, embossed, unused with writing postcard. Dated by the sender March 18, 1913. Publisher:  Samson Brothers. Series 414 C. Made in the U.S.A.

Price:  $8.00

“To Uncle Dewey”

“Apri 7. 1914. Dear Uncle Dewey. Wishing you A Happy Easter. From your nephew Allen Barker.”

Two adorable bunnies, one black and white, and the other brown, appear in an egg-shaped design that is surrounded by a gold and white embossed lace-type border, which leads up to the fancier scroll work of a finial-type ornament. The contrast of the white, tan and gold background, with the brighter colors in the egg, is gorgeous, and the card is in very good condition. The caption in gold reads “Easter Greetings.”

Divided back, embossed, unused with writing postcard. Publisher unknown. Card dated by the sender April 7, 1914.

Price:  $10.00
