This rare 1909 real photo postcard features the Wild & Wooly Bangaroo Monster on a July 4th parade float.
Approximate size: 5.4 inches x 3.4 inches
What's great about this postcard is the clear sign and unusual costumes among the American flags backdrop. The person wearing a devil costume with a pitchfork is notable, as well as the elaborate creation of the "monster" on the parade float.
