November 1909 (USA)

November 1909 (USA)

Here’s the story:  In November 1908, A.J. in Ogema (Wisconsin) , a small town with a big heart, mailed this full-year calendar to Lena in Spirit (also in Wisconsin).  It took two days to arrive, and we know this because postmarks for both towns appear on the reverse.  Lena must have peeled off those months one-by-one until November 1909, when she stopped, for reasons we will never know.  Because it’s highly unlikely the card was originally printed with “Greetings from Ogema” in that embossed writing on the front, either A.J. added that, or someone else did.  We’re guessing someone else, because the word “From” looks different on each side.  That is more than you wanted to know, but part of what makes this hobby/business enjoyable.  How to grade this?  Stamp’s there too, so we will say Grade: 3
