If that.

Obviously the corners have been snipped right off. Edges look like it was just printed and you should expect wear, fading and overall damage to cards that old. The wear on the back is inconsistent with staining on the front and that crease looks easily like it was bent, just to look old.

I'm sorry that you picked it up. (It might not be fake, but looks like it to me.

Did not look original to me either, the photo should be a real photo, and if you can see the back, it should have a lineup. It also did not appear that the crease went all the way through.

When did corrugated cardboard come to be?

"City Livery...... give me a call."

When did telephones become so common that an ad would suggest that you "give me a call"? Sometime after WWII would be my guess. Certainly not in the 1800s.

Since there isn't a phone number listed, maybe you just do this:

The mount is clearly not period, but I am curious about the photo. I assume it is a modern fake, but it would be worth looking at it more closely. Bottom line is to stay away.

Well, looking up the real one from the other comment, it does say "Give me a call."

"Give me a call" predates the invention of the telephone. Calling just meant visiting and the word transferred to visiting someone on the telephone.
