IT is a true cdv and is 2 1/2" x 4", I have circa 1868 on it. It was sold individually with several more in the auction. I thought this was the best one of the group.

Great idea for a thread. Some really great items shared here so far.

Along with cards since day one I've always had a passion for original advertisement and original advertisement companion pieces which represent and promote the cards that I collect.

It's a consistent focus that I've not veered away from since my collecting bug began. Click on the thumbnails in this link for larger pics >> https://www.collectorfocus.com/colle...nt/memorabilia

About the one consistent aspect of my collecting over the years is that I don't shy away from card abuse, whether accidental, or intentional, like these modified by human hands examples.

So maybe this can be considered specialized. But perhaps just "special".
