VTT - Apples and Thanksgiving



Today's Thanksgiving postcard showing a boy eating an apple was published by the Stecher Lithograph Company and is numbered 252 F. It was mailed in 1912.

Below are two apple wall pocket planters. The one on the left is marked PY and has an N in a circle. The one on the right is Royal Copley. Both have holes on the back for hanging. The one on the right has a flat bottom and can also stand.



I'm participating in Vintage Thingie Thursday

Cool wall pockets. It looks like that turkey is going to eat the boy's apple on the postcard.

The turkey may be eying the little boy's apple, but the boy is eying the turkey's neck. Watch out turkey!

You have so many lovely vintage postcards! If I were that little boy, I would run. That turkey looks like he is eyeing that apple.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!!

Hi there! Yes--I can see what you mean! Thank you for your comment about the Joyful thanksgiving postcard--I didn't know there were more than one version of this postcard--this really does look like the very same artist.

Have a great day!
