    NOT
    A POSTCARD
    (though, even odd sized, it COULD have been used as one) but
    WITH REAL PHOTO
    Original ca. 1920s REAL PHOTO Christmas Card with printed sentiment & signed by "The Reeds" - Mary Ella & James Reed - showing their home in Waynesboro, North Carolina. (They moved to Asheville in 1931 and I currently have for sale on ebay 2 actual 1931 real photo postcards of their "new" home in Asheville - subject to prior sale).
    I've "tweaked" the 1st & 2nd scans a tad to show more details
    . The card you receive will look like the 3rd scan.
    Card measures just under 4 inches wide by just under 5 inches deep. Back in those days with fewer postal restrictions, this COULD have been used as a postcard even though there are absolutely no markings on the verso of this Christmas card.
    Standard size postcards

    WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
    NO EXCEPTIONS.
    FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
    Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
    I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
    business
    days (Mon-Fri)
    max
    - often less than that.
    Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
    NOT
    FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
    PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
    In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
