Default Any idea what this is - Sort of an oversized Football Postcard
Posted By: Keith

Hey guys,
I picked this up yesterday at an estate auction, and just am not exactly sure what it is. It reminds me of the Christy turn of the century postcards, but this one is a lot larger than a postcard. It measures 10 inches by 7 inches, and is on a slightly thicker stock paper than a postcard would be. It pictures some University of Pennsylvania fans, a football shaped photo of a Penn game in progress, and a small photo of College Hall on Penn's Campus. Is this just something that was sold as decorative item?

Also, any idea on age - I thought maybe dating between 1895-1905, probably leaning towards the early 1900's.
