We can’t do Easter without bun-buns! So, here’s a brown bunny wearing a blue bow tie in a red Easter egg, doing his magician’s trick with that ribbon-wrapped egg. The sender writes:
“Dear Annetta :- How are you. Our spring vacation commences today. I am going out to Grandpas. Mamma and Mildred have allready gone. Give my love to all. Your Cousin, Helen.”
Addressed to: “Miss Annetta Stevenson, 1912 Leland Ave., Ravenswood, Chicago.”
Ravenswood is a neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago. The address of 1912 Leland (if the numbering hasn’t changed down thru the years) today appears to be roughly at the present day Chicago Northside Church of the Nazarene at 1200 W. Leland. This is coincidental (or maybe not, depending on the history of the building and if it’s the same structure) because Annetta’s father’s occupation (from the 1910 Federal Census) is church minister. Annetta was born in Pennsylvania, about 1903, and is with parents Curtis R. and Mildred B. Stevenson, so she was about seven when she received this card from cousin Helen.

I have one of theses cards for Logan Ohio dated March 26th 1910 what is this cars actually worth same date stamp same post card and all. Different person writing it.
Hi James, sorry about the late reply to you. The worth of this card is pretty much what somebody is willing to pay for it. You can find lots of postcards like this online selling for probably anywhere from a dollar to 15 or 20 or more. Just whatever somebody is wanting to price it at and whatever somebody is willing to pay. For me I think the value is in the beauty of the card, and whether there’s a family connection out there to somebody, which, of course, makes it special to them. All the best, Anne
