View Vintage 1910 Raphael Tuck Oilette Easter Postcard Chicks & Lily of the Valley with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Expect potential delays of up to 3 weeks within the U.S. This exquisite antique postcard from the renowned Raphael Tuck & Sons 'Oilette' series features a charming Easter scene. The illustration depicts two fuzzy yellow chicks emerging from a cracked eggshell, accompanied by a delicate spray of Lily of the Valley flowers. Set against a soft lavender background, the artwork is signed by the artist M. Morris, showcasing the painterly texture and vibrant color reproduction that made the Oilette series highly collectible during the Golden Age of postcards. The reverse side reveals a fascinating piece of history with a clear 1910 postmark from Fruitvale, California. It bears the official Royal Warrant crest as 'Art Publishers to Their Majesties the King & Queen,' and includes a handwritten message addressed to San Francisco. Printed in England, this card represents the high-quality lithographic standards of the early 20th century, making it a wonderful addition for collectors of holiday greetings, Tuck series, or Edwardian era ephemera. If you choose " FREE " shipping, the card will be sleeved and sent in a thin cardboard mailer using  eBay Standard Envelope (ESE)  tracking. Note that ESE tracking only tracks movement between processing centers and does not provide mailbox-to-mailbox tracking. A " Delivered " or " Out For Delivery " scan indicates that the card has reached the final sorting center prior to your local post office; it may take a few extra days, to a week (& add up to an additional week during Xmas), to reach your mailbox. Expect potential delays of up to 3 weeks within the U.S. Free ESE Shipping Limitations:  The cardboard mailer cannot be marked "Do Not Bend" nor "Hand Cancel" and the card cannot be sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, as these options disqualify it from ESE shipping. ? Upgraded Shipping - Ground Advantage or Priority: YOU may choose to pay for  Ground Advantage  or  Priority  shipping, during checkout, for added protection, which includes a sturdy, thick mailer and mailbox to mailbox USPS tracking. If you wish to upgrade from ESE to Ground Advantage or Priority shipping after your purchase, please contact me immediately, and I'll provide a link to an eBay listing for you to purchase the additional shipping cost.   Condition: Used.
