Divided back, unused, Real Photo Postcard. AZO stamp box. Circa 1907 – 1918.

Price:  $5.00

Awwww! A Real Photo Postcard showing two little girls, sisters no doubt, standing just inside the doorway to their house. Maybe they were at the side or back door because the entrance way seems a bit narrow. We can see the flowered pattern of some curtains in the background. And notice the rustic look of door and frame – hopefully, that door is still intact somewhere….But, back to the girls – they can’t be any cuter. The older one, age maybe about age five, holds her dolly and smiles into the camera. Her younger sister, maybe about two or three, gazes off to her left, and is holding her baby bottle.

The date of the postcard can be estimated with help from the AZO stamp box that shows all four triangles pointing up, which Playle.com estimates 1904 – 1918, and the fact that it’s a divided back which puts it at least at 1907. But for me, I get the feeling that it may have been taken in the latter half of the 1910s.
