Eagle's Nest, Clearwater-Belleair, FL 
Unused postcard, date unknown (before
1951 since it says on back to use 1-cent stamp)
On the back, the postcard states the
following:
Animal or Vegetable?
-This hideous object suggestive of
"Cerberus" of ancient Mythology or "The Hound of the
Baskervilles" of modern fiction, is an unusual form of vegetable growth
occasionally found at the foot of the cypress tree and locally called cypress
"knees."
-This specimen, blackened by age, which
may well be over 200 years was found near Lakeland by an early
pioneer---passed on thru several generations to its present ownership.
-Note traces of bullet marks in neck
indicating that early hunters were deceived by its weird resemblance to some
living quadruped.
"C.T. Photo-Colorit," made only
by Curt Teich & Co., Inc., Chicago, U.S.A.
