This Victorian trade card is a demo prior to printing the name of a business on it.

My brief research revealed that this design was subsequently selected and used as a trade card advertising a store or business named EMMA WENZL, located on Croghan Street in Detroit, Michigan-- last time I checked, there was one for sale on eBay that had the later, added printing (but this one is earlier, free of the added printing of the store name and location).

The card measures approximately 2.3 x 3.8 in.

After the years the item may show some typical wear.

PLEASE review the scans carefully and then purchase confidently.

For a domestic mailing, I'll send your item free of charge with standard first class shipping within the United States. In the effort to keep our costs down, I tend to trust our postal service and it works out great "99.9%" of the time. Moreover, in my experience "ephemera enthusiasts" are a great community of people who are collaborative and don't take advantage of each other; therefore, I typically do not feel the need to drive up your costs so that I can later prove successful delivery-- I trust you. However, if you want to purchase certified mail services (includes tracking), then please send me a message so that we can make arrangements.


Thanks for considering this keepsake.
