Paper picture postcards?
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:17 am
I inherited some used ( with postmarks and some with stamps) and unused postcards from around 1909 showing scenes from round the UK. Some are photo poscards and are in black and white. Some are colour and have an unusual finish on them. They are in quite good condition because they were in a beautiful album that seems to be made specifically for postcards. Unfortunately the leather album is falling apart. It is a burgandy colour with a what appears to be a lily with word album embossed on the cover. As I live in Australia, is there any way of having the postcards and album dated and valued with any accuracy? Is there any way to have the album repaired? Also included in the album were 4 paper photo postcards with no division or place for stamps. they look flimsy, homemade or copied but at the same time they look extremely old, I admit I am confused by them. Of the 4 only one has writing on the back.
