Grant postcards usually have printed card designs. The image above is key to understanding the embossed cards, as it is the only embossed postcard on which the Grant name is printed.

In similar fashion to Stevens, these Grant postcards have an embossed pattern round the opening for the silk. The essential feature is the four anchor designs in each corner.
There are regional variations to this, with the shamrock for Irish cards and thistle for Scottish cards.

Just visable in the image above, around the central anchor design, is another rectangular pressing. This is unique to Grant, and is the link to a second, different, embossed design attributed to Grant.
