Re: Possible very rare postcards?
Apologies for delay - I have replied to your e'mail now. I would say that these are pre-WW2 and not so popular by comic collectors. The humour and the execution do not appear to be very exciting in my opinion. Unable to help with the publisher - I would suggest a visit to the local history library i...

Another new collecting theme I am searching for - Rope-making/Rope-works and anything associated with this industry - here's an example:

- a 22-inch Coir Rope weighing 10 tons made by J T Davies Ltd., Coborn Road, Bow, London E.

Re: Looking for postcards of workhouses please
A little harder to find as such, since by the time postcards were in vogue, Workhouses were being replaced as institutions/Hospitals/Old People's Homes and so on.

Re: Possible very rare postcards?
Are they signed by an artist, I wonder? - it would be great if you could post an example - comic postcards are plentiful - those by named artists are more popular.

Re: Edinburgh Royal Infirmary / info needed.
I would guess that they were produced to raise funds for the hospital - I have similar ones for the Hackney Children's Hospital in East London which are nt uncommon, but is enough to find. The facts and figures are fascinating and, to me, add value to the views as great pieces of Social History. Val...

A small bundle of Boer War related postcards went missing from a dealers stand at a Postcard/Stamp Fair in Essex yesterday - these included some Cartoons from that period and are of some value. Naturally the dealer is upset and annoyed and would like to see them returned - he has checked his stock i...
