3 Antique Embossed School Souvenir Cards from Paulding County Ohio
$45.00
What an amazing piece of Americana! This is a set of three Souvenir cards from the Paulding County Ohio School District from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Would be wonderful memorabilia from Ohio or could be used for paper craft projects.
These cards are lovely and evocative of more elegant and formal times. They were traditionally given to students at the end of the school year. It is interesting to see how the list of pupils grew in the 3 year time span these cards represent. There are three in the set as follows:
