C 1905 PC WOMAN & RED "BOILED" LOBSTER "WHIPPED" SUGAR DADDY IN BED ARCANE HUMOR:
$18.99

Circa 1905 postcard depicting a cameo view of a Woman in Bed w/ a Red Lobster (Boiled or Baked) with the caption: "Did this ever happen to you?". There is a white space to right of image ... it allows the entry of a place name so the full question is: Did this ever happen to you in ... (some city). In fact, most of these cards found have been used and/or are place specific.
** For those who don't know (and believe it or not, a dictionary from the late 19th Century helps here, specifically the definition of lobster therein) ... in the old, old days (circa 1875-1925), a Red (Cooked) Lobster was the equivalent of a Whipped-of sorts Sugar Daddy. So, if the card is funny or infers a good scenario is dependent on, I would guess, the circumstances at hand. Enough said. A bit of an archaic and arcane semantical relic nonetheless.Domestic shipping by Standard Envelope to include tracking (to postal hub nearest destination rather than to buyer address) and insurance.
