Football Poem
Talk not of war's alarms,
Football hath greater charms
Better than feats of arms,
Are feats of feet.
Let then your guns be mute
Call only those who shoot
Goals with unerring boot,
Heroes complete
They don't make goalposts like that anymore.
Souvenir Post Card
Valentine's Series
Printed in Great Britain
Card is unused.
Based on other similar cards with postmarks I estimate this to be around 1911 in date.
.
The postcard is supplied in a plastic sleeve with a blank greetings card with a photowindow + envelope so you can send it as your own unique greetings card, be it for a birthday, valentines or any special occasion or celebration.
Sending a little piece of history chosen by you. This is not a reproduction, it is a genuine antique original around 100 years old !
They are also a lovely bit of social history, if it isn't blank you often get to see what people were writing to each other over a century ago.
Please be aware, as these may have been through the postal system once already and are often over 100 years old, some fading and wear comensurate with age is inevitable.
If you are looking for a pristine, new, mint, squeeky condition, these are probably not for you, although some are in very good condition.
If you are looking for character and a unique gift you have come to the right place.
This is truly in the spirit of recycling as the receiver can remove the card put it out on display, in an albumn or even put it in a photo window greetings card themselves and post it out to someone else !
The great thing about these cards is that the early 20th century was the heyday for postcards and there are literally hundreds of great designs, both romantic, humourous and downright weird specially selected for you by The Card Museum. There will always be something to suit everyone.
Prices include 2nd class signed for postage and packing within mainland UK. For overseas please contact us for a quote.
