It's My Treat

It's My Treat
Printed on the back: "This card is a genuine photograph, hand colored. Made in the United States."

Perhaps this real photo postcard was intended as a birth announcement, since it used to be (or still is?) customary for fathers to hand out cigars to friends, relatives, and coworkers when a child was born. Otherwise, it seems rather strange to imagine a smiling infant passing out cigars like this.

, Smiley Derleth, have particularly liked this photo
