A search on ebid found similar items including the Crested Titmouse card illustrated (no 112) - and there is one postally used in 1968 featuring a Lion; suggesting that they published postcards in more recent years? I believe they produced a lot of Flower postcards too...

Yes, no doubt Mike's priority was to get the new look home page up and running, with fine tuning to come.

EXCEL Cards I would be grateful for any information about the publisher(s) who produced cards with the Logo EXCEL SERIES. Postal dates are prolific throughout the 1930's. When did they first appear ?

A popular publisher by collectors, these two... do I have the only (poor) copy?

I like the handpainted/homemade postcards too... I don't really collect them, but this one is of the Tower of London and made me chuckle - a bargain at £2.50: http://www.churchpostcardviews.co.uk/images/08_001.jpg - and on the back: http://www.churchpostcardviews.co.uk/images/08_002.jpg I wonder who...
