Absolutely fantastic, this Pink Baby Christening Card, a tiny treasure from days past for the collector of fine ephemera. Presented in a box, cards like this were given at a Christening or Birth in the early 1900's to 1920's, as a souvenir of the Christening Day. Truly spectacular, this has been loved and so well kept all these years by a collector.
Beautifully hand made in Germany, on the front is a soft Pink Silk, French Silk Ribbon Trim and Silver Dresden surrounds a tiny Wax Baby Angel. Card back is an envelope, Godparents or other family member or close friend generally added a personal note and a monetary gift.
The Box has plenty of wear and damage, but it has done its job of keeping the treasure inside dirt and wear free. Measures 5~1/4" x 4" {box}, Card measures 4~3/4" x 3~1/2". A once in a life time find for those of you who collect Postcards, Ephemera and Children's Items, we are thrilled to have purchased a collection of these hard to find treasures.
