1906 Letter Card - Pop up Pig & Leprechaun

Its not every day you see a Leprechaun riding a pig.

This is a "letter card" from 1906. It closes up and is addressed & stamped but when you open it up a pig expands out with a drawing of a Leprechaun riding it.


This one was mailed on Apr 27, 1906 from Hartford, CT & received on Apr 28, 1906 in Addison, CT - there are postmarks from both cities. I looked on the USPS website and there does not seem to be a post office in Addison, so this is probably a DPO - a dead post office, one that was closed at some point.

The back of this letter card (not shown here) is in pretty rough shape, but the pig still expands nicely.

Click on the title to go to the listing, if you're interested.

Update:  SOLD!
