Vintage 1913 Comic Drinking Postcard A Toast To Ye Clubman Series 1 Whiskey Hobo For Sale

The item available for purchase is an authentic vintage 1913 comic drinking postcard titled "A Toast to ye Clubman" from the popular Edwardian-era "Toast Series No. 1." This antique paper collectible features an illustrated, hand-drawn design of an intoxicated hobo gentleman struggling to find his keyhole after an evening of drinking. The front of the card displays a classic rhyming drinking toast, complete with stylized artwork showing snakes emerging from a prominent bottle of rye whiskey. It is an ideal addition to any collection focused on postal history, vintage humor, or early 20th-century alcohol advertising.

On the reverse side, the divided-back card features a clearly legible, original cancellation postmark dated May 12, 1913. The postal history includes an intact, green 1-cent United States postage stamp depicting the profile of Benjamin Franklin. A period-accurate handwritten message asks the recipient, "How do you feel after this?", which connects directly to the joke on the front. This historical piece is addressed to a Mr. Ray C. Altman in care of the historic Kaiser Hotel located in Garnett, Kansas. In terms of condition, the postcard exhibits minor edge scuffing alongside noticeable surface aging and staining consistent with its 110-plus year history.
