Victorian Trade Card - GARDELLA BROS.
Attractive small, business-sized card advertising "GARDELLA BROS. / 169 Merrimack St., / Wholesale and retail dealers in / Fruit, Confectionery / PEANUTS, &C." The design appears to feature a pagoda-like structure beside a stone stairway and railing. There also appear to be a couple of small swans at the lower right.
The back is blank.
Size: approx. 1-3/4" x 3-1/8"
Date: Not dated.
Lithographer: Not identified.
Condition: Excellent, I'd say. This card is only very lightly soiled with sharp edges and barely "bumped" corners. (Please see scans.)
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
