	Mfg. Unknown Made in Germany Circa: 1890 A true treasure, these two Post Cards are one of the favorites in our collection. These cards have another cut-out card attached to the front. A small ribbon holds the sheets containing the message inside. The first page opens to read: "To wish You every Happiness". The next page reads: " May your New Year my friend be a glorious one, and may you find that the heart which happiness bestows, reflected happiness will bless". The first card shown is dark pink roses, the front reads: "Birthday Greetings". The second card shown is purple violets and reads: "A Happy Birthday". Both cards read identical inside.
