This collection of approximately 75 to 85 pieces includes Victorian die-cut scraps, trade cards, and mid-century folding cards dating from the 1880s to the 1960s. These printed items, rather than real photo postcards, illustrate the transition from ornate 19th-century floral motifs to stylized mid-century graphics featuring Santa Claus. Notable pieces include a Dickens Christmas Tale puppy card and an Embossed Pack sleeve marked 12 for 10cts, with printed signatures from The Algers and Ruth and Granville Shiffer. No specific printing locations or postmarks are present on these mass-market cards. The lot represents a comprehensive overview of holiday social correspondence and commercial art over nearly a century. Dimensions: Various sizes from 2 x 3 inches to 5 x 7 inches.
