Certificates of the Republic of Ireland and mail your check today to Easmon de Valera, 411
Fifth Ave, New York." The various symbols on the drawing of George Washington

SH120-This very
early postcard of a German singing club building in New York City, including some interior

American issue. Card is copyrighted 1898 by H.A. Rost of NYC and postally used 1899.

corners of card; image is free of defects and overall VG

Ellam. Not common. Un, some light edge wear; overall VG+

unusual Temperance postcard. Card has got a real photo on right side; artist drawn
