Timbuktu (Tombouctou) Welcome sign
To western eyes it is hard to imagine anything more exotic than this mid-1960s postcard. It was mailed from Timbuktu, has four stamps and multiple legible postmarks. The most minor corner abrasion but really a spectacular, brilliant addition to any collection. In fact, we don’t really want to sell it, and that’s partly why it is so expensive. But if you really want it, here it is. Grade: 1
