Discover a charming piece of mid-century ephemera with this vintage "Get Well" greeting card from the 1950s. The card features delightful, whimsical cartoon animal illustrations, depicting what appears to be a bear, badger or weasel character. The front reads, "A 'Get Well' Wish for You" and "I wished and wished which oughta prove I did MY bit . . .". The imagery includes the animal peeking playfully from the side, holding a pencil, alongside a column of X's and O's, hinting at the interactive theme within.

This unique design makes it a captivating collectible, reflecting the playful spirit of the era's greeting card artistry. The back of the card bears the "Greetings Inc." logo and a numerical code 10 7796, indicative of its production during the period. This item is a wonderful addition for collectors of vintage paper goods, mid-century design, or unique sentimental pieces.

This item is from the family estate of Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver. Estes also ran for President and vice President with Stevenson against Nixon/Eisenhower. At one time there was a fire in part of his childhood home. So this item may have some soot staining, discoloration/staining, creasing, has wear around the edges, may have a musty odor from storage with normal estate wear. Please see pictures/scans for more details. We have a large amount of ephemera from the Kefauver estate listed and or will be listing.
