TWO HANDSOME GENTLEMAN : FASHIONABLE : UNDIVIDED BACK : PRIVATE MAILING CARD:
$26.00
This vintage private mailing card features two handsome and well dressed gentlemen. In 1898, the US Congress passed the "Private Mailing Card Act". This law allowed private companies to produce their own postcards that could be mailed at the same price as government produced cards (1 cent). The cards were required to include the statement "Private Mailing Card, Authorized by Act of Congress". Messages could only be written on the reverse of the card. In 1901, the act was amended and the cards could read "Post Card" instead of "Private Mailing Card".This postcard measures about 5.25 x 3.25 inches and is in good condition (see scans).
