Antique pennant greetings post card
Circa 1910s
Divided back, golden age

A cute / silly correspondence card with a photo of a guy taking a lady for a drive.

I AM GOING THE LIMIT IN
I t h a c a,   M i c h.
AND WISH YOU WERE HERE

Shouldn't that read, "you auto be here?" I'll see myself out > >
About pennant cards:
A variation on the stock card was the pennant card that usually contained little or no imagery at all, just a general greeting. A place name would either be ink stamped onto the card, or be printed onto a piece of felt, cut into the shape of a triangular flag, and affixed to the card. This allowed stores or even individuals equipped with a small hand press to buy cards in numbers less than an expensive press run would require, and then print their town name onto them. Shops could also stock less inventory this way. The heyday of pennant greetings was the mid-teens to the roaring 20's.
