Marquette, Middle Isle Point

Marquette, Middle Isle Point

Once in awhile, we run into old postcards that had been held in stock by the publisher as reference for future orders.  This is one of those.  On the front, it’s typical of normal antique postcards.  So would be the reverse, but it has rubber-stamped and typed indications of how many of this particular card were made (in 1941); and how many more were printed (we think), in 1950, along with a stamped legend “CABINET SAMPLE”.  So this is, in its way, a novelty card if you’re looking for something unusual.  It should be grade 3 or 4, because of the extra writing, but this is special, so it’s Grade: 1
