Junco Bird Vintage Arm & Hammer Trading Card in Ornate Gold Frame | Flea & Frame Creation

A little piece of advertising history, beautifully framed!

This one-of-a-kind Flea & Frame Creation features an authentic vintage “Useful Birds of America” collector’s card depicting a Slate-colored Junco, thoughtfully paired with a beautifully textured gold-tone vintage frame.

Originally distributed by Church & Dwight Co., makers of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, these charming collectible bird cards were included in baking soda packages to encourage an appreciation for North American wildlife.

Dating to approximately the late 1920s to early 1930s, this delightful card features a beautifully detailed illustration of the Junco, a small songbird known for its soft gray coloring and white outer tail feathers.

Unlike our traditional Flea & Frame Creations featuring artwork clipped from books, this piece showcases an actual vintage collectible trading card!

The card has been paired with a chunky, textured gold-tone frame featuring a wide decorative border and a lovely antiqued finish. The combination creates a timeless little piece that celebrates both vintage advertising and natural history.
