Up for sale is a unique historical lot of two (2) vintage mid-century Americana greeting cards from the same correspondence collection. Both cards feature distinct stylized artwork, thematic dialect text, and identical premium textured paper stock typical of the 1940s.

- Front Caption: "Sho' nuff, honey CHRISTMAS is come"
- Inside Caption: "Ah's hoping dat your Christmas Is de LUCKIEST one dat wuz"

- Back Stamp: Product code 10N92 NORCROSS NEW YORK
- Historical Significance: Features a fascinating, legible handwritten letter on the back panel addressed to "Dear Esther" from "Goldie". The text explicitly references a World War II-era civil service appointment:
"Dear Esther: Do you mean that you have accepted an appointment in Washington, D.C.? The nearer it draws to the first of the year and the colder it gets the more I hate to think about going to nite school. Let me hear from you again. Goldie"
A wonderful, matched pair for collectors of WWII homefront history, vintage holiday ephemera, or vintage Americana illustration.
Please review all photos for an exact look at condition details, margins, and handwriting. No envelopes included.
