Condition: Antique postcard with age toning, light staining, edge/corner wear, and general handling wear. Please see photos for exact condition. Comes protected in a 4x6 top loader. Great piece for collectors of antique religious postcards, Catholic saints, shrine/reliquary images, French ephemera, macabre religious oddities, and “dead nun” style imagery.
