Vintage 1950s Linen Comic Postcard Whistle on the Still Humor

This vintage linen postcard from the 1950s features a humorous cartoon scene of a scruffy man relaxing beside a makeshift still, complete with a large copper distillation apparatus emitting whimsical "toot" sounds. The scene is accompanied by a playful verse in a bright speech bubble that reads: "We put a whistle on the still / And now it sounds like a lumbermill / So if I don't find the time to write / I'll give you a toot on some clear nite." The rich colors and textured linen finish characteristic of mid-century postcards bring this comic illustration to life. Published by Asheville Post Card Co., Asheville, N.C., this divided back linen postcard measures the standard 5.5 x 3.5 inches. It is a classic example of American mid-20th century postcard humor and printing techniques, including vibrant lithographic color on linen paper. The card's nostalgic charm and collectible appeal make it a great addition for collectors of vintage Americana, comic-themed postcards, or linen-era ephemera.
