Re: A question

A good question: I believe this would have been a postcard sent by one of many exchange clubs that thrived during the 'Golden Age' - these would have been established through magazines and clubs set up to specifically to cater for the collector in those early days of Postcards - and international to...

Re: Help Please

- ultra rare, eh? - would be nice to see these if you can get them on-line - the value depends on their appeal to collectors of course - in this case it may appeal to Royalty collectors too - for a local dealer try the Potteries Postcard Society; they meet 4th Monday of each month at St Peters Metho...

Darts Appeal

did you know that the game of Darts dates back to the middle ages? - here's a quote from http://www.britainexpress.com/History/pastimes/darts.htm : In 1908 a pub owner named Anakin in Leeds, Yorkshire, was taken to court for permitting darts to be played in his establishment. He offered to prove tha...

Re: twitter

Not sure - I have an account and don't use it much either, too many 'idiots' on there if you ask me with too much time on their hands - but all publicity is construed as good publicity as they (someone) sometimes say - enjoy!

Re: Rephotography and postcard site online - users needed

Has anybody been able to have a look at the site? I've had a quick glance - yes, the concept is good + the intro works well: creating then/now views to display publicly - hmmm, not sure postcard collectors will take to it easily or readily with the amount of work involved. I know many cards in my o...

Re: Bamforth song cards

They certainly seem exceptional to find like that and would appeal to Bamforth collectors and attract a premium on top of what are not very expensive postcards to collect. My guess is that they are printer proofs/trials/samples. Great find! Of course, Bamforth are more well known for their saucy com...

Thanks


Judges of Hastings are still operating and so too are Francis Frith with their old books and prints - rule of thumb is to look up a publisher and check if they are still operating .......... hope it helps
