Here, I got you this vintage Thanksgiving postcard.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I wanted to share with you a delightful vintage Thanksgiving postcard I found recently at a Provo antique store, postmarked 1910. Isn’t it lovely?

vintage thanksgiving postcardThanksgiving Greetings! Is that a giant pterodactyl wishbone over the turkey? Did pterodactyls even have wishbones? I’m not a scientist, so I feel confident saying yes. Yes, they did.

But let’s have a closer look at that turkey.

why the shocked look, Mr. Turkey?To me, it looks like the turkey is not willingly sending his greetings to the recipient (who, according to my deductive reasoning skills from the message on the back, was the sender’s brother who was on an LDS mission in England). Maybe the turkey is just flabbergasted by the giant pterodactyl wishbone hovering over him. Maybe he’s thinking about all the things he’s going to do with the modeling money he’s getting from this gig. Maybe, since it’s a Thanksgiving postcard, he’s thinking…

OH FUCK.

    Since I recently saw a movie about pterasaurs, I should know if they have wishbones. Let’s just go with yes.
