Unusual "G.C. Young and Bro's, Syracuse, NY" Measures 2-1/2" wide by 4-1/4" high, circa 1885. Excellent condition. No tears, never folded, colors are true, corners are undamaged with exception of old rear crease in lower right corner (not visible from front -- see photos). Issued by G.C. Young and Bro's, dealers in Groceries and Provisions. Unusual in that this is supposed to be a single-sided card, but the printing normally present only on the front is also printed in REVERSE LETTERING on the back in the same position, creating a looking-glass effect. This is not bleed-through -- probably a tongue-in-cheek trick of the printer, as it seems less likely that it would be a legitimate mistake. Either way, it's a genuine Oddity From the 19th Century.
