Both the guitarist and the woman in the window have a revolving wheel (between front card and back covering) that allows you to change the face of each (8 options). Among the options are two African American faces, and various ages, etc. The front image is quite nice and sharp; the reverse panel has a brief message at one end and the address in center. where "Mail Card" is printed the "M" and the "A" are rubbed away. Quite a scarce mechanical post card.
