Help! Bamforth Postcards Hymns/Songs & Black/White Photo
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 7:56 pm
Hi Everybody
Im here to pick your brains and ask for help. I have recently acquired 2 collectors folders full of Bamforth Postcards, mostly from the Hymns and Songs ranges and some are written/postmarked on the back between 1910 - 1918. Also there are quite a few Black & White Photo Song Postcards too. I havent really got a clue about these, I have a book with them all about Bamforth collections and listing the numbers/titles/sets etc so Ive figured which ones are complete sets etc. I also have a Christies Auction Book dated 1994 which is a programme for the auction they held selling all the Bamforth Saucy Seaside Postcards. I really dont want these are I have no interest in them and havent got a clue where to start to try and sell them to a collector who could find some of them useful. Any ideas how I can start, to be honest Im not really an Ebay fan so would rather be able to visit a dealer or something..... HELP Please. Im from Barnsley, South Yorkshire so if anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be ever so grateful. Many Thanks in advance.
I'll list a few here, just so you get the jist of the type of cards they are:
4929 - Boys in Khaki, Boys In Blue ( Full set of 3) UNUSED/Empty Backs
4695 - Don't go down the mine Dad (Full set of 4) UNUSED/Empty Backs
4500 - Ora Pro Nobis (Full set of 4) Written on backs but no stamps or postmarks
4651 - You Taught Me How To Love You (Full set of 3) no.2 & 3 stamped/postmarked 1912
And so on..... the list is pretty large, lots of singular as well as un finished sets as well as many full sets.
