| 1907 Cornell Leather Postcard - Cornell Yell Leather postcards were first made in 1903. They were a novelty that appealed to tourists. Often they are found with holes punched along the edges. When stitched together, they could be used as a pillow cover or wall hanging. The holes along the edge could also be used to attach fringe. The cards were made of deer hide and the pictures burned in. The U.S. post office banned leather postcards in 1907 because they jammed postage-canceling machines (although postcards with postmarks after 1907 can be found). Leather cards continued to be made as souvenirs until about 1910. |
