Handwritten caption in green ink, lower right-hand corner: "Jack - Hallow-Eve - 1933." A real photo postcard showing "Jack" -- usually a man's name -- dressed as a woman for Halloween in 1933.

The photographic paper used for the postcard backing has an Azo stamp box (squares in all four corners, in use from 1924 to 1949).

"All Stars at Augustaville dance. Coleman caller. 1-21-'33." The musicians ("All Stars") and caller ("Coleman," with megaphone) for a dance that evidently took place in Augustaville, Pennsylvania, in 1933.

"'Errymay Istmaschray! Ellen, Carl, and Donna Jean Ed, 1933. NRA." Cartoonist Carl Ed (1890-1959) created this card for himself, his wife Ellen, and his daughter Donna Jean in 1933. The Santa impersonators are characters from Ed's Harold Teen comic strip. That's Harold Teen himself tipping his Santa hat on the left, and his sidekick Shadow Smart is doing the same on the right. The teenagers' playful greeting of "Errymay Istmaschray" is, of course, Pig Latin for "Merry Christmas." The eagle and "NRA" on the toy sack refer to the National Recovery Administration , one of the New Deal agencies that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established in 1933 to combat the effects of the Great Depression .
