This listing features a charming lot of vintage ephemera from the early 1900s, including two antique school merit cards and two decorative Victorian-style lithograph postcards.
One of the Honor Cards is filled out by hand, awarded to Minnie May on March 15, 1907, and signed by her teacher, Edith Montgomery. It reads: Honor Card. A Testimonial of Approbation. Awarded to Minnie May Mar. 15 1907 For Excellence in Deportment, Good Recitations, and Regularity of Attendance. Edith Montgomery Teacher. The second Honor Card is an unused blank template featuring the same elegant typography and detailed decorative border. Both cards measure approximately 4 inches by 5.5 inches.
Also included are two beautiful antique color postcards. One depicts a pink rose, delicate blue flowers, a scenic view looking through a die-cut style frame, and a small butterfly in the corner. The other shows a small bird perched on a rose branch next to a large cream-colored bloom with a snowy winter village scene in the background. The postcards measure roughly 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches.
Please examine the photos carefully to evaluate the condition. These genuine antique paper items show signs of age and wear, including edge wear, minor creasing, surface scuffing, and localized paper loss/toning, which adds to their authentic historic character. They are perfect for collectors of school ephemera, genealogy enthusiasts, scrapbooking, junk journaling, or historical framing.
