Vintage 1911 Why Grunt Do Your Stunt Pig Red Comic Standard Postcard USA DB
Image side displays bold red background with white pigs, ornate scroll borders, and the slogan "WHY GRUNT? Do your stunt." with overall moderate handling wear, scattered surface rubbing and small white scuff marks, and a few tiny dark specks in the red field, while the printed artwork and lettering remain strong and legible. Corner tips and edges show slight to moderate wear with rounding, small nicks, and minor edge flaking, yet the standard-size postcard cardstock feels firm and lies flat without creases, tears, or missing pieces through the main design area. Reverse divided-back side shows uniform age toning, penciled message and address, black WEISER IDAHO 1911 postmark, and a green one-cent U.S. postage stamp along with some handling soil and smudging; single original vintage standard-size divided-back postcard only, no envelope, mount, or frame included.
