Here’s another card for our friend Bert Dresser. While it’s unsigned by the sender and the postmark is illegible, it is hand-dated January 1, 1915. There’s also a very small copyright on the front of the card with the notation “© S. Bergman N.Y. 1912″.

If this were sent today, it would seem to me to be something in the form of a condolence card, but I don’t think that was the case then; it appears to be just a simple “hello”. There isn’t a lot of ink on the postmark, but after some computer enhancement, I believe that the date of the mark is January 25, 1913. The city still isn’t legible, but my best guess is Wendell, Massachusetts. I have another card for Bert Dresser, apparently from the same sender and also with an illegible postmark, but it is hand-dated January 1, 1915.
