  • Accra, Black Star Square, Independence Monument

    This Everbright vintage B&W card dates from 1968. It’s oversized and crumpled a bit on edges so that it would fit in a box. Never used, it has some edge and corner creasing, and frankly was never too beautiful. Grade: 4

    Accra, Osu Castle

  • Damongo, Larabanga Mosque

    B&W unused WAC 106 card from mid-1960s, though it’s a timeless scene. Some aging on reverse. We have to say that Ghana is a far more colourful country than these cards suggest. Grade: 1

  • Drying of cocoa beans

    This B&W card was mailed from Accra in 1968. It has two stamps, and legible postmarks. Considering where it was mailed, and when, the card is in virtually perfect condition. Grade: 1

  • Senya Beraku Fort

    This card, bought in 1968 and indexed WAC2, was never mailed, and apart from gently aged reverse is in great condition. The photo looks faded but that’s what the card was like when it was new. Grade: 2

    Senya Beraku Fort

  • Accra, Christiansborg Castle

    Card WAC1 dates from 1968 but this view goes back much further than that. Never mailed, and only the most minor of corner abrasion. Grade: 2

  • Greetings from Ghana

    We have no way of knowing, but somehow doubt this unused Ewool card ever saw Ghana.  Nevertheless, here it is.  Grade: 1

    Code: 20421008

    Greetings from Ghana

  • Kwame Nkrumah

    This postcard was issued by the Ghanaian government in Accra in 1958 “Commemorating Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah’s Visit to U.S.A. and Canada”.  There’s a Gold Coast stamp, with Ghana Independence overprint; and clear postmark.  No address, so the card was not mailed.  A small flying insect got pressed into the bottom reverse–adds character.  Grade: 3

    Code: 20421009

  • Dressed for Adowa Dance

    In one of the more memorable messages we’ve seen, Ethel tells Marion the weather in Ghana is “like Michigan”.  We’ve been to both, and that’s a stretch.  Mailed with stamp and postmark.  Grade: 1
