Hold to Light Postcard with Pencil Drawing on Top and Message for Rosey antique trick playing cards but even better when housed

but even better when housed in this great looking old slide top box with "Stencil Outfit" stenciled on the lid

(The wood panel on the back of the mirror can be opened

and a long stiff rope tail

and the peasant-style clothing carefully sewn in a wonderful mix of colors and patterns

a pretty unusual one

Hold to Light Postcard with Pencil Drawing on Top and Message for Rosey antique trick playing cards but even better when housedI love the fact that our sender a J. T, I believe chose this postcard to send to Miss Rosy Marek, who I have to think was a redhead. I also love that he spelled her name two different ways, and signed off with a proper "good bye" and then an H. K which at least in my mind stands for hugs and kisses, but who knows? But most of all I love the drawing he made of himself on the front, suggesting that this is the way Rosey ought to take him to a dance,
