Here's a very nice vintage postcard featuring the stone house used as General Lee's Headquarters during the Civil War battle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It also features a small portrait of the general.
The description on the back states: "General Lee, with his splendid army, advanced along the Chambersburg Pike, and, for a short time occupied this picturesque little stone house, fronting on the Pike (now The Lincoln Highway.) It stands on Seminary Ridge midway between the Seminary buildings and the old tapeworm railroad cut."
The card was published by Marken & Bielfeld, Inc., Frederick, Md. It carries the identification code "7B-H214".
Size: approx. 3½" x 5½"
Date: Not dated, but probably from the 1950s, or perhaps earlier.
Condition: Good, I'd say. The card is unused, with very slight edge wear. However, both sides (mostly the back) show discoloration from long term storage in a standard postcard album. (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.
