Vintage Postcard with 1-Cent George Washington Stamp

This item is a vintage postcard featuring a 1-cent green George Washington postage stamp fixed to the top left corner. The postcard displays a cursive handwritten address to Roland Crump at 104 Harrison St., Gloversville, on a textured, off-white cardstock that shows signs of aging such as yellowing and minor surface foxing. A prominent feature is the stylized 'Post Card' text printed in an ornate burgundy-red serif font, overlaid with several black wavy cancel lines. A circular postmark from ABILENE, KANS is visible, dated October 9, 3-PM, though the specific year digit is partially obscured (appearing to be 1917 or 1919 based on the stamp type). The 1-cent stamp belongs to the Washington-Franklin issues, characterized by the profile portrait of George Washington facing left within an ornate border. The card includes a vertical 'COMMERCIALCHROME' printer's mark and faint handwritten message text trailing off the right edge. The condition shows authentic wear consistent with early 20th-century postal history, including soft corners and slight edge abrasions. The craftsmanship of the typography and the clarity of the iron-gall ink handwriting suggest a high-quality period piece of ephemera from the late 1910s era.
