P.F.B. Company did very few 'novelty' items. This particular card has real hair applied to a comic image of a

out of same collection. Un, EX-near Mint

visual problem; overall VG+

clean and EX

NV132-This
lovely Easter card has four different colors of silk applied to image: light purple to one
girl's dress and light green to her hat; the other child has a light blue silk dress and
