Easter angel standing in front of a cross folds her hands in prayer. This card was

AG184-The
beautiful young angel holds a round sign with New Year greetings. An evergreen leans
behind a decorative bottom border. This border was clearly meant to hold a sender's

overall VG++ $15.00 |

does it have a quality image of angel heads on it but also it is a novelty
'hold-to-light.' The stars, including the large one in the center, are die-cut to
appear illuminated when held to a strong artifical light. Un, early
undivided back, near Mint $125.00 |

Christmas greeting features two girl-angels approaching a house. Very Uncommon. PU
