This Sloniker family calling card was found at the intersection of Michiana, Niles, Berrien County, Michigan, and South Bend, Saint Joseph County, Indiana. This beautiful old Sloniker autographed piece will be sent in a new clean archival rigid sleeve for your collection. These Victorian era cards were used to "call" and announce your Victorian "calling" at homes of friends, acquaintances, family members and business contacts. Generally the home had a tray or "Charger," which was a large vessel, often silver, to hold the beautiful cards. This was Flora Mae's own personal card and features a beautifully colored lithographic sailboat, iconic Victorian hand symbol and an American flag.
Size: 2 x 3.5 inches

Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
