young Black kids shown at a "negro-school." This is a very early issue by

who did the elegant work on this Judaica postcard, Wilheim Wachtel, was born in

this set all have a strong religious theme. Un, near MINT $40.00 |
 |

sixteen cards total in the very collectible "Cracker Jack Bears" postcard
series. This card is #9 and has even stronger interest than most others in the set
because of a Black peanut farmer in the image. Instances of Black Americans in early

ding in bottom edge but overall condition is VG+ with no tears or creases. $95.00 |

 |
ET143-This
postcard is a very early issue by the Tuck Company and is very difficult to find for that
reason (series 970). It is one of their early 'Write away' cards where the sender
completed the unfinished sentence at the top. Unfortunately the sender of this card
used the opportunity to put in a racial slur..."coons this is one." PU 1903;
some light surface soil and handwriting on front bottom (necessary as this is undivided
back era) but this is early issue and the image is still very good. VG $75.00 |
 |

fabulous image of a Black Uncle Sam strumming a banjo and a colorful young lady is usually
seen as a Tuck Company issue with the text 'Carnival' and 'Cake Walk' printed on the
front. This version, without text, is printed on slightly better board than the Tuck
set and is lightly embossed. Scarce variation. Un, minor corner wear; overall
VG++ $95.00 |
 |

complete. PU 1906, undivided back, EX $95.00 |
 |

chilling anti-Semitic poster, "The Eternal Jew," done for a political exhibition
