Description

These plates at least the smaller ones with the envelopes are addressed to The Swab Wagon Co. Elizabethville PA. from The Unique Illustrating Co Tribune Building New York City.  I estimate these to be from 1909 -1917.  There is one envelope that has a stamp on it, the 4c Washington, used 1909 - 1917.  Also, Swab Wagon sold Cars including Chevrolet in 1916, and switch only to selling Studebaker around 1919.  Since some of these plates are Chevrolet, they all may predate 1919.  They are old.
Includes two with Santa Claus and one with Uncle Sam, one Thanksgiving Scene,
Note one of the blocks is chipped
