1939 New York World’s Fair Elsie the Cow postcard
I don’t know much about the card or how it was acquired. My grandparents live in an old farmhouse and they must have acquired this some time ago. My uncle found it and was wondering if it has any value. It’s not in the best condition obviously but some input would be highly appreciated! Thanks! Elsie the Cow postcard
