Description: FEATURED IS A VINTAGE 1905 POSTCARD ARTIST SIGNED BY H H TAMMEN - GREETINGS FROM PIGS IN PEN WITH HUMOROUS PLAY ON WORDS ... "EXCUSE HASTE AND BAD PEN". GOOD CONDITION. H. H. Tammen was one of the most prolific postcard artist / entrepreneurs of the early 20th Century. He even copyrighted his work! This PC carries his copyright date of 1905. It also carries a number: 834. His original work is finding favor ... and good auction prices. He was located in Denver. A lot of his work revolved around Native American life and Yellowstone. This is a surprisingly rare card ... there were no other pig related PCs of his that I could find across a 10-year history of Tammen postcard sales. I won't give it a "rare" price. I want you to do what the original sender hoped the original recipient would do: "You can put this in your album ... Lovingly sent." Domestic Shipping for this PC includes eBay tracking (not necessarily door to door tracking ... more likely delivery to hub closest to buyer's address) and insurance. Postcards are shipped in rigid mailers. Check out our other offerings as we get them listed - could be anything ... not just postcards. Happy to combine shipping. The above said, we do have tens of thousands of cards from the Curt Teich Archives and will be listing them as well as tens of thousands of others ... all types and locales. Many are categorized. If you're looking for a certain topic, let us know. Selling on eBay as early as 1997. "The Mermaid" is also still a bonded auctioneer and real estate broker who spent the past "many" decades' specializing in books, ephemera, estates, and real estate. Just shy of two million books sold to date. Books and paper aside, if it is "Stuff", she has sold it! She has now returned to eBay. Health issues have brought us back. We are even selling our own collections! And ... we are picky. If we wouldn't add it to our own collections, we won't sell it. Hope you find something that you want, need, and, most important of all, will enjoy! We look forward to transacting with you and making new eBay friends and customers. Thanking you for your patronage in advance ... ! As to our "standard operating procedures": Our normal shipping & handling time is three (3) days. We ship weekdays with the exception of US federal holidays. We will ship with either free shipping or calculated shipping ... it depends on the given scenario. Often, calculated shipping will include insurance - again, depending on the item. Payment is expected at time of purchase or close of auction, whichever is applicable. This also applies to "best offer accepted" transactions. Non-paying purchasers or bidders will be blocked from future transactions. The same goes for winning bidders seeking to have sales cancelled. That said, prior to the end of any auctions, bids can be cancelled through the HELP section of eBay. If respective bidders are found to be cancelling bids in an excessive manner, however, they will be blocked from future transactions. Shill bidding is not tolerated and will be reported. "The Mermaid" is happy to ship globally.** (See below.) For such transactions, "calculated" shipping fees apply and Insurance will be required if not already included in applicable postal fee. **Unfortunately, there are a few destinations to which we cannot and will not ship. That circumstance involves a fluid dynamic the specifics of which may not be clear until point of sale. If such is the case, we will allow the transaction to be cancelled at our discretion and without any negative reporting made to eBay. WE ARE GLAD TO BE BACK!
