EGGS, Iconic Feeling Early 20th C. Trade Card (2 Available) black and white painting 2 7/8" in diameterFound in Maine, not far from Week's Mill, where they were stamped by an H. E. Malcolm some 100+ years ago. Like similar fish monger cards I have had, these would have been provided by the distributor in this case A & O. W, Mead & Co, Boston for use by the supplier, to accompany a delivery of eggs. I love the graphics, especially that big screen printed scarlet M, and what is more essential or, sadly at the present, contested than eggs? 5 7 16 x 3 7 8
