I find this post card funny...  Merry Christmas from the 7th Armored Division!  It is blank on the back.  Could not find any info online...

Perhaps he thought of it as an omen...and decided to deliver it in person

One person posted "unique item" while another said "lots of these were made". Its unused and in descent shape. Worth more to me than what ever its value....
