Almanac of the Air postcard
This item is the earliest known piece
of Clellan Card memorabilia, postmarked February 1937 just
six months after his Almanac of the Air morning radio
program began. The message on the back indicates that the show
was originally planned to run for only a single season, but in
fact the popular program lasted for eight years.
In the photo, Clellan has what is probably
a radio script in his left hand while in his right he appears
to be holding a small stuffed animal with a kerchief tied around
its head. It's not known for sure, but the toy may represent
Mahitabel or Noggins, two of Clellan's earliest characters.
