#AD-2 - Old World Santa & Sleigh pulled by 2 Polar Bears! - Germany - Postmarked Carter, Wyo., 1910 - $50.00 The polar bears, pulling Santa's sleigh are a rare form of transportation, as is the winged elf in the purple robe. Note the nose-rings as part of the harness... as though the bears might not be controllable without them! The card is embossed and has a brocaded surface! The condition is VeryGood+, with rounded corners and a few tiny edge chips, but NO other faults. The wavy lines in the gold backround are an artifact of the way our scanning software sees the image. In one light it appears as an even gold. In another, the wavy lines become apparent, because the direction of the lines forming the various parts of the backround catch and shimmer the light differently. This is not a fault, but the way the card was designed. Postmarked Carter, Wyo., Dec. 22, 1910... a clear strike of that large-dial postmark.
