Summary
A New Year card which opens up to be a goose hutch/pen. It has three paper geese poking their heads out between the wooden bars of the hutch/pen. There is a strip of card which is at the bottom of the hutch/pen. This is further forward than the rest and has some writing on it printed in black ink which reads 'To wish you a Happy New Year'. The back of the hutch/pen is plain white, but the rest has been printed to look like wood. The hutch/pen folds down to be flat.
Marks and inscriptions
Back of the card: 'from Kathleen to wish/ for a Merry Xmas/ and a Happy New Year.'
