NANCY ALWYN : PRETTY ACTRESS : UNCOMMON RPPC

This vintage real photo postcard features theater actress, Miss Nancy Alwyn. There not much easily accessible information about this actress. Although her photograph appears in a number of cigarette card series, it is difficult to find another Nancy Alwyn postcard. Alwyn cards are certainly uncommon. The only Alwyn cards on ebay at the moment are this one and another. I am the seller for both of them.  Miss Alwyn’s photo portrait was taken by James H. Jamieson. This postcard was published by Rotary Photo as part of a series (No. 11548 C).  (SOLD)
