Product Description: Add a touch of early 20th-century romance and mystique to your collection with this authentic, antique c. 1915 Halloween postcard. Published by Nash as part of their highly sought-after H-13 Series, this card perfectly captures the whimsical, fortune-telling spirit of Edwardian Halloween celebrations.
The Design: Framed inside a stunning, embossed gold heart, a young boy and girl prepare for a classic Halloween parlor game. Between them rests a wise owl atop a pedestal flanked by apple-bobbing candles. The top left corner features the signature Nash black-cat-in-heart logo.
The Verse: "If you blow out the light ere the Apple is bit,By the Girl that you Love best,Her Heart's yours forever—She'll think it cleverAnd your Marriage will be Blessed."
Collector’s Condition Notes:
Front: Exceptional color retention and sharp, crisp embossing. Displays beautifully with excellent visual appeal.
Reverse: Highly desirable unposted/unused condition with no writing, stamps, or cancellations.
