Miniature calling card, also called a visiting card, imprinted with the stage name of Charles S. Stratton, "Gen. Tom Thumb". The postage stamp-sized rectangle is plain other than the elaborate script used for his name. The name is not centered on the card; it is printed above the center. The date is unknown, and presumably could be as early as 1843 when Stratton began working with Barnum, or as late as 1883, when Stratton died. Mostly likely it is from the 1840s or 1850s.
Unknown creator, no date.
