Thanks friend!
Love old post card, I have never come across a wood version yet.
Some info on the company;
J.W.N. Co. (1905-1912)
Providence, RI
"Publisher of postcards made with their patented process of sandwiching a real photo, usually a portrait, between two thin sheets of wood. Picture outlines were burnt into the wood and then hand colored. Some of their cards carry a swastika trademark."
They also made them without the cutout.
Oh thank you walk! Good info!
