Starting in 1903, postcards made of leather were decorated by pyrography known as “fire-writing”. Most were deer skin and in 1909, the post office banned the mailing of leather postcards because they were getting hung up in the sorting machines. One of the most popular leather artists was W.S. Heal. His leather postcards command a higher price.
