Lot #22:

Theodore Roosevelt, Teddy Bear Teeter-Totter Postcard

If you held a contest for coolest postcard of all time, this one would be in the race. It’s a 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch mechanical postcard that pictures Theodore Roosevelt and a teddy bear on a teeter-totter. A little bit of the fur is missing from the bear, but after all he is somewhere around 115 years old. Some slight wear at corners.
