Santorin, windmill
One could imagine the film “Foreign Correspondent” being shot here, but it wasn’t. The Joakimides Thira card dates from 1939, is unmailed, has serrated edges, and is highly aged on reverse but exotic, atmospheric and beautiful in its way. Grade: 2

Code: 39300002
Price: $5.00
Flower decoration (Netherlands)
Very, very colourful card showing all manner of blooms, something we can only imagine seeing in real life. It is unused and dates from the 1960s, with serrated edges and an applique saying “Greetings from Holland” on the front, originally containing “real scent of hyacinths.” We’ve not peeled that off to see if any scent remains. Grade: 2
