Postcard History is pleased to introduce Owen Carrollson. Owen recently sent images of a ten-card set that is approaching 125 years old. A happy new year message on one of the set is dated December 17, 1897. Bordering on being “rare finds” they are artist-signed by Ernst Platz, a noted German artist.
Artist signed, “Dwig” postcards are popular collectibles. There are plenty to choose from – probably more than 500. C. V. Dwiggins was born in Ohio and worked for newspapers nationwide. His 60+ year career is worthy of much praise. He kept America laughing.
