Grandfather

[hobgoblin]

Seem to be in the same position as many. Inherited some rather random postcards from my grandfather and not sure if they are worth anything or even where to go as they are mainly foreign (he was a marconi operator on the Mauritania). Anyway here goes:

- 4 x view folder (envelope for posting that opens up with 24 photographs inside) published by Louis Kaufmann & Sons, Baltimore. Gettysburg Battlefield, Panama Canal, Historical Virginia and Historical Richmond.

- Marseille Album Souvenir - black & white with tissue paper separating cards. No publisher but map of Marseille at front with E Lamott in corner

- book of 12 detachable postcards of the Tate Gallery - book 1, series LL. Again Black & white with tissue paper separators.

- Album Souvenir of Malta (12 cards, 2 missing). Black & white with tissue paper separators. No publisher

- Book of County Kerry postcards - Mungtret series, published by JGB Ltd, Eire

Several individual cards from early 20th century - Japan, China, Cuba, USA etc. US ones are hand-painted and a very clumsy attempt at hand-painting on a Japanese postcard of Yokohama.

Any help appreciated.

Same advice as given to others: find a Postcard Fair near to where you live and take them along and ask several dealers for an opinion/valuation/offer - or - find a Postcard Club near you and do the same ............
