Girl and Her Chicks, Sweet Old Postage Stamp Collage Postcard folk art pipe based on both the name

based on both the name and the manner of decoration

I found these at the flea market just this morning

in order that they fit into the smaller-scale ice boxes of the day--and they remain handy still

and would be inclined to use them for serving special treats

Girl and Her Chicks, Sweet Old Postage Stamp Collage Postcard folk art pipe based on both the nameSuch a curious thing were old postage stamp collage postcards like this one, and I think this is quite a sweet example, with an excellent use of George Washington's head facing in opposite directions for our girl's purple dress, and perfectly placed "10"s for the heads of those yellow chicks! With watercolor ground and ink drawn details, and a message on reverse noting that it was "an elderly woman over 80 years of age" who made the card. 5 1 2 x 3 9
