1896 Toronto Parkdale "2" duplex (SP 17 96) ties pair #34 1/2ยข Small Queen on spectacular red postcard with gold printing to local address. The card is highlighted in gold with "Compliments 1247 Queen Street West Toronto" and shows a beaver resting on a log surrounded by maple leaves. The header "PRIVATE POST CARD" is underscored with a gold printed line to highlight the rate, although technically this would qualify as a drop letter. The reverse, printed in black, is an invitation to inspect the fall and winter line of clothes. The card has a corner bend at lower right but is not visible from the front. The January 1896 postal regulations allowed the senders name and address on the front but no advertising, which Ward complies with by not mentioning his business as a tailor on the front. An exhibition quality item that will capture the viewer's attention. Ex Stulberg (Image)
