Wow! - that is unusual and a newsworthy item, indeed. I would say that it has a value above the Postcard itself if it is genuine - but, hard to put an exact price on it? There are collectors of 'oddities' like this in the stamp world as well who would snap it up, I'm sure.

Welcome - well, these are not a well-known series as far as I know, I've certainly never seen or heard of this set before. The 5000 series of postcard sets were not started by Hildesheimer until 1904/05 - so your set will probably have been produced before then. Hope it helps, Steve

Well, I just like Old things and have always collected something or other. Postcards I enjoy in particular because you never know what is out there to find - unlike stamps, let's say, which are all listed and catalogued and known about - with no real surprises (I'll probably get beaten down for sayi...

absolutely - very underused sadly - I believe 'reply' buttons in the events section is only available to PTA members -

Good news - I am fortunate to have a contact in New Zealand who has been successful in acquiring the card on your behalf from the original seller - if you still want the postcard please PM me with your details and I can put you two in touch with each other if that's OK - best wishes

I can identify the first image - the bear with a staff - as belonging to The Photochrom Company Ltd., Tunbridge Wells

His son Alan Padgett was married to my grandmother's sister Mabel Webb. I have tried to find out what happened to their collection of photographs and understan...

A halfpenny was the rate of inland postage at the time. ...
