Description:

This collectible phone card features the iconic painting "The Children’s Marathon" by Norman Rockwell, originally from the cover of The Saturday Evening Post dated September 2, 1939. The artwork depicts three children intensely focused on a game of marbles. A girl with red hair in a green dress and white collar crouches in the foreground, poised to flick a marble. Behind her, a boy wearing a white shirt and red cap leans forward, watching closely, while another boy in a dark striped shirt kneels next to her, equally engaged in the game. The scattered marbles lie on the ground near them.

The card displays the title "THE SATURDAY EVENING POST" at the top with a partial date "2 September 1939" and a price of "5cts." The artist’s signature, “Norman Rockwell,” appears prominently near the right side of the children. At the bottom, the AmeriVox logo includes a stylized American flag and an eagle icon alongside the text "The World's New Voice in Calling,” confirming the card's function as a collectible phone card with a value of $5.

This artistic depiction blends Americana themes by showcasing children, games, and a nostalgic moment from mid-20th century American culture, emphasizing the skill and concentration involved in playing marbles. The card is a tribute to Norman Rockwell’s detailed, storytelling style and captures the essence of childhood competition and camaraderie.
