Copyright Date: 1883 (see note, below)
Lithographer: L. Prang & Co., Boston

"Kind Birthday Wishes"

Back (variety 1) - no underlying text

Reverse(s): The "Four Points" ('9c'); Poison In The Cup ('3a')
(both overprinted as shown)

NOTE: Although this card bears an 1883 copyright date, it's likely that the actual Arbuckle Bros. usage is from sometime later, as the Arbuckle company apparently just overprinted the backs of existing supplies of the cards. In fact, since the second variety shown above bears the "Poison In The Cup!" affidavit, that one would clearly have to have been issued in 1888 or later.
