Mr Hunter, Our Letter Carrier, 1900, Mounted, Annotated Portrait Photo w.c rice repent late 19th/very early 20th century

late 19th/very early 20th century or so I would guess

Box measures 7" x 3 5/8" x 2 5/8" t

There are a couple of light bends/creases--one at lower left

and i believe would have used primarily for the game of Put and Take

but what completely sold me on this one is the perfect heart shape at dead center

Mr Hunter, Our Letter Carrier, 1900, Mounted, Annotated Portrait Photo w.c rice repent late 19th/very early 20th centuryThis speaks for itself I think though since I rely very much on my letter (and box!) carrier to make my world go around, I've got a particular affection for this one. And clearly the original owner of this photo had a great appreciation for Mr Hunter! Wonderful. 2 5 8" x 2 3 8". Lots of stains and toning to the card, as evident, and all to the good I think.
