Re: How to call these postcards

eastlondonpostcard,

Thanks for your reply. I googled "Pull-out" and indeed, some cards came up.

Indeed, it is not a postcard, but a greeting card, as you suggest.

Keep well, Thelma

Italian postcard Milano-dep

Recently I found an Italian postcard with a pop-up nativity scene. The card has a logo, letters entwined in a circle, GMD or GPM. I have another postcard with the mark "GM Milano-dep." and wondered if it was the same firm. I have googled, but cannot find any information, neither on GM Mila...

Re: Restoration help needed

Linda,
Thanks for the suggestion of contacting a museum. I had not thought of that. I live in Belgium and my experience with museum help here is not very positive, but I will try again.
And I may try in England or Germany.

Restoration help needed

A few years ago I bought a few postcards from a friend, in good faith regarding their condition. They only needed some minor gluing he said. Coming home I was disappointed. The lovely cards needed more than some minor gluing. Some badly glued and now torn; pull-mechanism defective; etc.. I put them ...

Tuck & Son and Fritz Hildebrandt

According to information found on the internet, Tuck & Son published postcards of oil paintings, still lifes, by the artist Fritz Hildebrandt. As I cannot find any such original paintings, I wonder if maybe these were only made on commission by Tuck and that the originals were not for sale, but ...

Re: Publisher E.R.G. & Co in Blackpool

Thank you Brian for the extra information. I checked all the pictures, but nowhere Annie Pressland is mentioned and only on one calendar the artist's signature is shown, what I can make out is "Margaret Lewington", and a quick internet search reveals she is an illustrator. A photo of the c...

For my Christmas collection I have been able to buy a sample album, which says on the front cover: The "Victoria" Series private Christmas greeting cards. They are samples for Christmas 1946 and New Year 1947 greeting cards and calendars. Neither in the album, nor in the ordering instructi...
