Thanksgiving Greetings from All of Us at WorthPoint

WorthPoint Staff — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 15:22:43 +0000

Let the people in your life know you are thankful for them this year by sending them a Thanksgiving video card. The video, a collection of vintage postcards provided courtesy of R & J Silver and Such (the actual cards can be found on GoAntiques.com, along with many other Thanksgiving collectibles), was produced a few years ago but the sentiment still applies. At WorthPoint we are very thankful that you are a part of our arts, antiques and collectibles community.

And as a little bonus, here’s one we especially like: a last-minute attempt at a stay of execution. . .

A Thanksgiving greetings postcard, circa 1908, showing a young chef receiving a note from a large turkey saying "Many Happy Returns of Your Birday".
