Description: The Hilton Sisters Siamese Twins oversized postcard, 9 x 6 inches. The five-decade-old postcard shows the famous Hilton Twins who were born as conjoined twins in 1908. Postcard is unused; no writing or postage. Joined at their hips, they shared blood circulation and were fused at the pelvis but shared no major organs. The Hilton sisters first toured in Britain at age 3 and were trained by their managers in music. Violet was a skilled saxophonist, while Daisy was a violinist. They eventually sued, gaining freedom from their contract. They went into vaudeville, performing as the Hilton Sisters Revue. In 1932, the twins appeared in the film "Freaks." In the years afterward their popularity faded, and they struggled to make a living in show business. They passed away in 1969 from the Hong Kong flu. It was believed that Daisy died first and Violet passed away two days later. The poster reads: “The Sensation of Vaudeville - San Antonio’s Siamese Twins - Daisy and Violet Hilton - Born Joined Together.” This Classic Vintage Style 1971 post card is ideal to frame or mount directly or to give as a gift. Corners and edges show some wear. Reverse side shows sunning. From a pet-free, smoke-free home. Please refer to the photos, which show actual item offered for sale.
