Hi,
This looks like a copy of the 1930s fan cards that were sent out by the Fleisher Studio, personalized by Max Fleisher. I have no idea who the person is that signed this one, but they are not from Fleischer Studios, and from the artwork and colors, this is most certainly a replication, something someone did for Doris. As such, no monetary value.
I've attached an original.

Bob, et al,:D:)

Thank you very much for the resaerch you did on this it is very much appreciated. I like the post card as it looks exactly like this mine only mine is in a water colour or ink. So it looks like the signed artist took this postcard and copied it his hand. I really appreciate this. Where can i get a original 30's post card like you have shown.I think this would look very nice framed alone side my picture what do you think ?. Thank you every body for your replies.If i cant find a post card as shown would any body like to purchase this art.

Best regards ...Dave
