Design number 2108 printed at lower left. Divided back with green "Post Card" heading and a stamp box reading "United States and Canada, One Cent, Foreign, Two Cents." Standard size, about 5.5 x 3.5 inches. Used condition with light corner wear; addressed on the back but never stamped or postmarked.
