Antique embossed Christmas postcard featuring Santa Claus carrying a large basket filled with toys while climbing an outdoor staircase. Two children watch from a snowy window above. Santa’s basket includes dolls, a toy soldier and an American flag, creating an unusually detailed early Christmas scene.

Front reads “Loving Christmas Wishes.” The card has extensive raised embossing and metallic gold accents and is marked “Printed in Germany” on the reverse.

Addressed and handwritten on the reverse but apparently never mailed, with no stamp or postal cancellation present.
