Vintage 1910s Halloween Scarecrow Holds Broom & Crow Divided Back Postcard

This charming vintage postcard from the early 1900s features a whimsical Halloween scene depicting a scarecrow playing a broom like a violin, with a crow perched on the broom's end. The illustration is rendered in soft, muted lithograph colors, typical of the divided back postcards produced between 1907 and 1915. The postcard includes a playful rhyme about avoiding trouble, signed by 'A Wise Guy,' adding a unique and collectible touch.

Printed by Gartner & Bender Publs., Chicago, this original lithograph postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches and showcases the classic holiday theme of Halloween with a vintage, nostalgic appeal. The divided back format allows for both message and address, and the card bears a 1-cent U.S. postage stamp postmarked October 9, 1920, from Minnesota. Collectors of early 20th-century holiday postcards and vintage Halloween memorabilia will appreciate the historical and artistic value of this piece.
