{"product_id":"ephemera-0022","title":"1960s Stretching Dachshund Get Well Card, Die-Cut by Hallmark","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Vintage Greeting Card\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage 1960s “Get Well” greeting card features a clever Z-fold mechanical design that creates a visual “stretching” effect using a long-bodied dachshund illustration. The construction allows the dog’s body to extend across multiple panels as the card is opened, turning a simple pun into a physical, interactive experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel is die-cut to follow the contours of the dachshund’s head, allowing it to extend beyond the edge of the card rather than remaining within a standard rectangular frame. This adds dimensionality even when the card is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the card unfolds, the middle panel reveals the elongated body of the dog, visually reinforcing the “no end” joke. The background features a textured gold brick wall, contrasting with the smooth white interior and the warm brown tones of the dachshund.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustration is enhanced by expressive details, including large blue eyes, a cheerful expression, and a small bouquet of flowers held in the dog’s mouth, tying the visual humor to the get well message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eText\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront Text:\u003cbr\u003eThere's No End...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside Text:\u003cbr\u003eTo the wishes this brings you for a SPEEDY RECOVERY!\u003cbr\u003eHope You'll soon be well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOccasion: Get Well\u003cbr\u003eRecipient: General\u003cbr\u003eEra: early 1960s\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Mid-Century Kitsch \/ Mechanical Z-Fold \/ Animated Design\u003cbr\u003eTheme: Dachshund Dog \/ Visual Pun Humor\u003cbr\u003ePublisher\/Brand: Hallmark\u003cbr\u003eStock Number: 15C 115-3\u003cbr\u003eArtist\/Illustrator: Not Noted\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Made in U.S.A.\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Unsigned\u003cbr\u003eIncludes Envelope: No\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal \/ Z-Fold\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 5 1\/2 x 4 1\/4 inches (closed); 9 1\/4 x 5 1\/2 inches (opened)\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Cardstock, Die-Cut, Embossed, Gilded\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an original vintage card.
