Hi Ben. Nice to hear from you. Just wanted to let you know that a plain (no ad on front) version of the Orcajo postcard is shown on the Old Cardboard website at http://www.oldcardboard.com/pc/pc786/pc786.asp?cardsetID=927. It is the same Harry Craft card without the ad.

The interesting thing about the example on the website is that it was used as part of a promotion for Goodrich Tire Company. As indicated by the message on the card back, it was sent by a Goodrich dealer to a customer and invites the customer to come in and see their new "Safety" tire--and "for future pictures," presumably others from the Orcajo set.

Also, does your card measure the full 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 inch standard postcard size? I have never seen an Orcajo card without a white border.

Happy Collecting,
Lyman
