Description: Up for bid is a wonderful vintage Halloween postcard. The artist has marvelously illustrated an old Halloween superstition: "If a maiden looks in a mirror on Halloween at midnight while holding a candle, the face of her future lover will then appear next to hers in the mirror." SOURCE: "POSTCARDS PORTRAY HALLOWEEN CUSTOMS OF THE PAST" by Roy Nuhn The Antique Trader Weekly, October 27, 1982. In this scene, a lovely post-Victorian era lady holds a candle as she peers into a mirror. Give yourself a Halloween treat and supersize image 1 so you can see detail on this card. This beautiful vintage postcard has not been posted, and has no handwriting on the divided back. When you supersize image 2 you will see that a previous owner has stamped the date of "Aug 2 1962" on the back. The age of this vintage card dates back to the early part of the last century. Here's a wonderful vintage postcard that can be framed for decoration, given as a unique gift, or to add to your Halloween postcard collection. Don't get scared away--bid now!
