Your description matches my lenticular postcard exactly, with the following
exceptions:
 - The card is about 5 1/4" high by 4 1/8" wide
 - The tip of the near wing is sharply in focus
 - The mountain in the background does not appear to be underexposed.
 - The apparent depth of the card is perhaps one inch.

The back of the card says "POST CARD" at the top, and at the bottom:
 C[in circle]   SAMCO ASSOCIATES (1968)- P.O. Box 261, Wynnewood, Pa. 19096
 Printed in Japan
