Mother's Day card with chinchilla

[alli713]

Haha this card is so random! It's a vintage Mother's Day card and on the inside there's a picture of the wife holding a book that says "How to raise chinchillas"

I just thought it was funny and so random that they actually put that in a card, and thought you all might like to see the card too

And you can click on the pictures to zoom in on them

Cute, back then chinchillas went for hundreds of dollars.

Isn't that what they go for now or am I paying too much?

I think it's cute, and sold out of course!

Cute, back then chinchillas went for hundreds of dollars.

This is from the Bowen Ranch site:

In 1946 Ed and Marge Bowen purchased their first pair of chinchillas for $3,200 (at that time a brand new Cadillac cost $800!)

So it was definitely more like 1000's back then
