As promised, here is SCAREY BABY OF 1890:
NOW, when Ralphie is a bad little boy (not picking up his toys, or hanging his clothes on WIRE HANGERS), Daddy Dearest just has to whisper the words: "Scarey baby" and he JUMPS 2' in the air!

Where oh where are you finding those fabulous cards!!?? The needlepoint ones are just beautiful. That baby is surely scarey. Yes, I think those transfers would go under toys but not sure how to word it, could they be early temporary tatoos or were they to put on things like maybe pencil boxes or the like?
The needlepoint cards are KEWL -- love the stories: Lonely Doughboy Clarence writes home from FRANCE to his DAD...
And the other one, the BIRTHDAY one: the FOUR flags on the FRONT I recognize as: FRANCE, USA, the UK, but that FOURTHE one (black+yellow gold + red) I have NO CLUE...maybe BELGIUM?
Yeah, I did stumble across some super cards only because there are many super KIND & GENEROUS people out there in VD-LAND, including Ralphie's buddies: the infamous GANG-OF-FOUR!
You have to remember that, as we've noted in the past, the MONKEES are on STRIKE & refuse to submit to binding arbitration...Ah, labor woes...Whatcha gonna do, right?

You do have some nice cards! The first one with a bible verse could be a Sunday School reward. The furry edged ones are greeting cards BUT the transfers have got to be very collectible. How many of those could have survived unused.
