Item:175929238696*RARE* 1902 FOSTORIA OHIO MECHANICAL ADV PIONEER POSTCARD DUCK WALLPAPER STORE. ESHELMAN & HARBAUGH, THE OLD CORNER DRUGSTORE, FOSTORIA, OHIO, used the copyrighted 1898 LIVERMORE & KNIGHT CO. PROV. R.I. diving duck advertising postcard to advertise their wall paper. Recipient reads card's message, carefully pulls up the diving duck, ... And presto! From the concealed pocket an advertising flier, attached to the tail, emerges for the intrigued reader to ponder. As expected, there is wear to the duck's tail, and some other wear also. Pioneer card was mailed in 1902 from nearby Bloomdale, and sent to a local Bloomdale resident. I suspect that perhaps one of the business owners or employees lived in Bloomdale. Neat local collectible! Shipping includes tracking.
