Our take
I came across this Sidney Squires & Co automatic sofa bed trade card and couldn't resist its quirky charm. The illustration shows a terrier chasing a rat while pulling a sofa bed – it's a fun piece of Victorian advertising art. The card is in good condition for its age, with clear details and no major tears. While it's not a functional product, it's a great conversation starter for collectors or those who appreciate antique ephemera. However, its appeal is niche – you have to be into vintage trade cards. At $33, it's a reasonable price for a unique piece of history, but don't expect anything beyond decorative or collectible value.
