This card was never mailed and remains unaddressed in the address section on the back side with green ink printing. Printed in ORANGE N. J. and mentions SOUTH ORANGE N. J. as well. It is a philatelic history piece for stamp collectors in the New Jersey area during the early 1920s era. Notable for the intersection of camera and stamp collecting clubs in the region. The card mentions sale sales occur on the first Friday of each month at 8:15 o'clock in the evening. This specific announcement pertains to the sale on January 7th. The card remains in clean condition with some minor penciled numerical notations in the upper corner of the front face. It features standard U.S. Postal Card typography from the period. This is an official government postcard used by a private hobbyist organization for communications among members or to the public regarding their local events. The design reflects typical 1920s organizational stationary style with clear bold headers and centered text blocks. Information for inquiries is provided via the secretary's contact details at his South Orange residence or office at 274 Charlton Ave. The card's reverse side clearly indicates the postal purpose with the traditional 'THIS SIDE OF CARD IS FOR ADDRESS' instruction printed in a decorative border characteristic of the US Post Office Department issues of the time. The green Jefferson stamp is integral to the card itself and not a separate adhesive label which confirms its status as a postal stationery item rather than a standard postcard. Such items are of interest to both local historians and philatelists specializing in postal stationery and club history from the twentieth century in the United States.
