1932 Vintage Postcard Radiogram QSL Card W5APA
 
Printed on the front of this Unique QSL Card postcard " Message Delivery for RADIOGRAM, via The American Radio Relay League"
From: Minden, Louisiana Dated Nov 22, 1932
"I.W. Shields", Opr. 
 
Although the very bottom edge was either misprinted or cut off Reads: W8DED PRINT
The hand typed QSO information was manually lined up on an old fashioned typewriter, and a handwritten note across the top edge reads: "I want to get your QSO"
 
Across the front center of the card, the handwritten call letters W5APA is unusual, because if you hold it sideways to the light, it looks like gold ink.
The back address side is addressed in what looks like pencil and it features a large circular postmark from Sibley LA Nov 26 1932 with a 1 cent Washington postage stamp which had a series of holes that look like a backwards "G 1" 
 
CONDITION: Fair condition. If looking at the back (address  side) the top right corner has suffered some damage from a pin hole. The top left corner has a small pin hole, but is intact. 
The remaining corners and edges are straight and undamaged, only showing slight signs of wear and discoloring. 
The 1 cent Washington postage stamp is canceled by unusually thick straight lines, which obscures the writing at the bottom of the stamp, the top right corner was also damaged by the pin hole.
