I picked up the Earl Averill postcard pictured below and issued in the early 1970s. The writing on the back explains the reason for why it was produced. When I first glanced at the pose, it brought to mind Averill's Worch Cigar card. As if often the case, I was wrong. The Worch pose is a different one. I feel like I've seen this pose on one of Averill's cards and just can't place it. Does it look familiar to anyone? It's quite possible that it never was used on a card, but I keep thinking it was.

That same pose was used on his 1976 Shakey's Pizza card, but I'm not sure that that answer is what you're looking for...

Thanks, Brad. Who knows, maybe that's the one I'm recalling. My first inclination was that it was a vintage card, but maybe it wasn't.

Were you thinking of this pose perhaps?Averill`s Exhibit Salutation card is not quite like your postcard but similar.
