I.W. Allen Job Printer, Beverly MA, Victorian Era Trade Card

The graphics and slogans on some of these old Victorian era trade cards can make them pretty hard to resist, and I also enjoy that so many of those one finds are from companies in my neck of the woods here in New England. I recently picked up a handful I am listing individually, which I think make nice stocking stuffers matched to the personalities and predilections of loved ones. This one might be good for a child or sibling obsessed with fairness (i.e. who wants exactly half of the pretzel!) or with a tendency to assume the opposing view on everything! All is well, though, as the two together form the shape of a heart:)

Late 19th century and in very good condition. 3 7/8" x 2 3/4". Black back.
