Parker and Wood Seeds and Tools Victorian Watermelon Man Trade Card black lock This is a sweet

This is a sweet

Otherwise very good condition

But most exciting seems to have been the Priests of Pallas masked ball

with these especially great headphones that seem abuzz with sound just sitting there

This piece would make a great fruit or serving bowl

Parker and Wood Seeds and Tools Victorian Watermelon Man Trade Card black lock This is a sweetThis is my favorite trade card I've found, c. 1890 or so I believe, and a pretty rare one the only other copy I can find of it out there is held int he Cornell University Library Rare and Manuscript Collection. What a face, and what a watermelon, and how much fun I think it would have been to visit Parker & Wood's Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store (with celebrated ice tools!) in Boston, located just a few steps from historic Faneuil Hall. 5 1 8" x
