[Oakdale Union High School]. Miss B. M. Riley - Recipient - O.U.H.S. Oakdale, Cal. Leather Postcard

Oakdale, California: , (n. d.). Ca. 1932 (date taken from Washington Bicentenial stamp used on the Post Card itself). Light brown flexible leather postcard. Now housed in a clear archival mylar sleeve. Single leather sheet, printed recto and verso. Velvet flag of white with yellow lettering stuck to top of front leather. Flagpole stamped in dark brown into the leather. 5-3/8" x 3-1/4". Moderate wear to postcard (age-toning, rubbing & light soiling), usual post markings. An about VG example. "A particular genre of communication from early 1900 to 1909 was the novelty postcard produced on leather, more commonly referred to as 'leather postcards.' Although leather postcards became quite popular, they were banned for postal use by the United States Postal Service in 1909. Leather postcards postmarked after 1909 tend to be very rare - though not unseen." (per a Dubuque online site) This postcard uses the Washington Bicentenial Stamp from 1932 and yet was mailed despite the ban on leather postcards. Draw your own conclusions! Addressed to a "Miss B. M. Riley, Santa Rosa Sonoma County, Mendocino St, Cal.".
