Antique Original 1910 Humor Postal Card - Lorenzo Burrowa - Albion NY - One Cent McKinley Square Black Scott UX19 - Machine Duplex Postal Cancel June 27  - Rochester NY - Postcard

The Back Of This 1910 Postal Card, Marked With The Intriguing Phrase "Stop Your Knocking!" And The Cryptic Acronym "S.A.O.," Offers A Fascinating Glimpse Into The Social Dynamics And Humor Of Early 20th-Century America. 

During This Period, Postcards Were Not Just A Means Of Communication But Also A Medium For Playful Banter And Social Commentary. 

The Phrase "Stop Your Knocking!" Likely Served As A Humorous Admonition Against Criticism Or Complaint, Echoing A Common Slang Expression Of The Time. 

The Acronym "S.A.O." Remains A Mystery, Possibly Alluding To A Local Club, Fraternal Organization, Or An Inside Joke, Highlighting The Era's Penchant For Cryptic And Personalized Messages. 

Additionally, The Disclaimer, "This Is NOT A Souvenir Card From 'Mame' Or 'Mary,'" Adds A Layer Of Irony Or Context-Specific Humor That Might Have Resounded With The Card's Recipient. 

This Postal Card Exemplifies The Richly Textured And Often Whimsical Nature Of Early 20th-Century Social Correspondence, Capturing A Slice Of Historical Communication That Invites Curiosity And Further Exploration.
