Return from the Insect Fair, Very Scarce Clapp and Treat Seeds Trade Card, Hartford CT, 1890s shoe makers but I love how it

but I love how it looks like a cloud of smoke

While I have found later versions with a very similar design

I'd be very tempted to use this to make many many dozens of little bird cookies

make of what looks like silver foil with a gold finish on the face of it

namely I think a finger to wrap itself around

Return from the Insect Fair, Very Scarce Clapp and Treat Seeds Trade Card, Hartford CT, 1890s shoe makers but I love how itSuch a fun one, and trade cards for vegetable seeds are my favorite. Especially a giant beet on wheels pulled (punningly) by a beetle! (Clever.) I can't find another like it out there, though have found a few references to Clapp and Treat seeds; I believe this dates to the 1890s or so. 5" x 3", good condition, bright and crisp, with a bit of stain visible along left edge and some old glue staining (not sticky) around the edges of the reverse side.
