Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Sounds like him <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>....<br /><br />To the original poster- there is a good chance someone on this board will have an idea of what it is. If you can post a picture it will help. If you can't then you can send me a jpg image (scan) and I will post it for you...though I will be in and out today I will do it as soon as I can.....so send away if you want some help...and do please turn your caps lock key off.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Most likely cut off of an advertising piece and never intended to be a card....imo.....I could be wrong but that's an educated guess....

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Hard to tell if it is even period. All that fuzziness is never a good sign.

Posted By: <b>jeff</b><p>you could be right...it either seems too be cut from something or maybe some sort of strip card..but i have no clue

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Blotchy, unnatural staining to give the appearance of age. At least to these eyes.

Posted By: <b>jeff</b><p>it is fuzzy in this pic..for some reason i can not seem too get a clear pic of this card..i dont know if it is the color or what it could be

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>Jeff -<br /><br />the lighting/background for the picture of the back of the item was just fine. It worked.<br /><br />I don't know why you would change it for the front - but the change didn't work for the photograph.<br /><br /><br />Also - in general a scan (using a scanner) is better than taking a photo of an item.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I agree that, from the scans shown, it looks to probably be a more modern piece.....not period.....would know better if I were holding it to feel the stock.... (and to be able to smell it <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>) regards

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Not from a known vintage set. Most likely modern.

Posted By: <b>MW</b><p>It looks like a cut-out from a (possibly vintage) periodical that has been pasted onto a piece of cardboard.
