Postcard 1900s Embossed Glitter Floral Only One Love Poem Olympia WA Unused

Olympia, Washington, USA1907Pre-linenExcellent

Silver glitter traces the petals of two luminous pink blossoms on this richly embossed greeting card, the flowers' velvet-dark stamens catching light against a soft aquamarine wash — and below them, a romantic Victorian toast: "Only One / Here's to one and only one, / And may that one be she / Who loves but one and only one, / And may that one be me." Addressed in a careful cursive hand to Miss Hattie of Olympia, Washington, this card was never posted — no stamp, no cancel — making it likely a hand-delivered or envelope-sent keepsake. Published under the PAF imprint (Serie 2834), a European multi-language publisher whose backs listed postal designations in a dozen languages including Russian (ОТКРЫТОЕ ПИСЬМО), suggesting production in Germany or Austria for international distribution. The dealer pencil notation "2-" in the upper corner marks a modest vintage price.
