I'm confused by this statement. The card appears to be the same size as a real card in the picture of her holding up the two cards, and for the purposes of showing people that the card would fit in a wallet, it'd have to be regular-card-size.
- lepton 7y agoHalf the thickness?
- yial 7y agoMaybe they mean that the card was physically the same size, but the printing was scaled down to only fill half?
- mikestew 7y agoAccurate statement or not, how many people in 1938 had seen a “real card” with which to compare? Having been born several decades later, I think I’ve seen one real SS card in my life: my own. And I lost that years ago.
- polm23 7y agoMaybe the real cards were printed on one side of paper and you folded it in half? I remember having a card like that, though it may have been for the Selective Service. Otherwise I would guess it's just a mistake.
