Antique lot of Victorian calling cards, antique ephemera, vintage graphics
Details
A sweet antique lot of 6 x Victorian-Edwardian calling cards.
"A visiting card or a calling card was a small, decorative card that was carried by individuals to present themselves to others. It was a common practice in the 18th and 19th century, particularly among the upper classes, to leave a visiting card when calling on someone (which means to visit their house or workplace)"- Wikipedia.
The cards include the names: Amanda G. Brandt, B. Cyer (?), Kate K. Eshelmann, Nathan W, Eshelmann, Mary Meekley, and John S. Martin. A nostalgic reminder of the past!
Condition for their age is good- there is fading, discoloration (a few areas of foxing) and some minor turned up edges on all.
Please be aware that all of my items are vintage or antique and may have small defects or signs of age. Review the images carefully and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like any other pictures!

Welcome to Curious Effie!
I have always loved all things antique and vintage, particularly jewelry, purses, glass and ceramics.
When the pandemic hit and everyone was sent indoors, I took the opportunity to create Curious Effie. Named after my ever-inquisitive daughter, I wanted to not only share some of my amazing finds and treasures, but also share a little bit of their story with you!
The history of an object has always fascinated me; where has it come from? who has it met along the way? I love interacting with my buyers and sometimes they share stories with me about why they are purchasing an item and the nostalgia attached to it.
The extra income for my family is a bonus but my real passion is researching unique objects and giving them another chance at life. I believe that we are merely custodians of these awesome treasures :)
Thanks for stopping by!
