View Vintage New Year Postcard 1912 E.A.S. Germany Embossed Shamrocks Forget-Me-Nots with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. This exquisite antique New Year's postcard, printed in Germany, features a beautiful combination of holiday and good luck symbolism. The central vignette depicts a serene, snow-covered winter landscape with a small building under a starry twilight sky, framed by lush green four-leaf clovers. Below the scene, a January 1st calendar page is prominently displayed, accented with a pink ribbon and additional shamrocks. The entire composition is elegantly bordered by delicate blue forget-me-not flowers and intricate embossed floral patterns in the corners, showcasing the high-quality lithography and craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century German stationery. The reverse side of the card provides a fascinating historical snapshot, bearing a clear postmark from Allentown, PA, dated December 1912 (best guess). It features a green one-cent Benjamin Franklin postage stamp and handwritten correspondence. This card is a wonderful example of the Golden Age of Postcards, bearing the 'E.A.S.' publisher mark (E.A. Schwerdtfeger). It serves as a perfect addition for collectors of holiday greetings, botanical themes, or early 1900s ephemera. Condition: Used.
