1912 Sweet Christmas Kitten in U.S. Mail Carrier’s Bag

Step back into a simpler time when holiday cheer arrived by post and every letter was a treasure. This charming 1912 embossed and gilded Christmas postcard captures that spirit perfectly, featuring a wide-eyed tabby kitten nestled inside a U.S. Mail carrier’s worn leather bag. The bag, lovingly detailed with holly leaves and berries, spills over with festive envelopes—one sweetly marked “A Merry Christmas.” The textured gray background and delicate white accents lend the scene a quiet, snowy-day feeling, like something found tucked in a trunk of family keepsakes. The kitten’s curious gaze draws you in, a gentle reminder of the warmth and wonder of holiday surprises.

This exquisite vintage postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, a unique holiday decoration, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
