Description: Up for bid is a wonderful vintage HALLOWEEN postcard. Bernhardt Wall, the artist (his signature appears at the lower-right corner) has marvelously illustrated a moment as a smiling jack 'o-lantern watches a post-Victorian era woman participate in an old Halloween superstition: "On Halloween night, a woman wishing to know the identity of her future spouse, can peel an apple without breaking the peel and then throw it over her shoulder. The peel will rest on the floor and take the form of the intial of her lover's name." SOURCE: Article in the October 27, 1982 Antique Trader by Roy Nuhn. Give yourself a HALLOWEEN treat and supersize image 1 so you can see the fine detail on this card! The artistry is really great and the colors are very vivid. This beautifully embossed postcard has been posted, and has a 1909 cancellation across the one-cent stamp on the divided back. Here's a wonderful 110 year-old postcard that can be framed for decoration, given as a unique and thoughtful gift, or to add to your HALLOWEEN or Wall postcard collection. Don't be scared--bid now for YOUR HALLOWEEN treat.
