Antique White 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.

Silver Dresden embellishes this further, as does the Gold embossing.  Card back is an Embossed Envelope, Godparents or other family member or close friend generally added a personal note and a monetary gift.

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.
