  • Southern Namibia, multiple views

    This card of Quiver Tree Forest is probably from early 1990s, and though it was not mailed, it has a message written on the back. Front is in great condition, and the reverse has exotic names on it: Keetmanshoop, Brukkaros…well, exotic to us, anyway. Grade: 4

  • Windhoek, Turnhalle (Maximum Card)

    Before it became Namibia, the territory (German colony, then South Africa’s U.N. Mandate) was South West Africa–until 1990.  This sepia, unused Maximum Card was issued in June 1985.  Turnhalle has a rich history of its own.   Grade: 1

  • Herd of sheep (South West Africa)

    As we know, (most of) South West Africa became Namibia in 1990, so this unused card predates that.  Doubt the landscape has changed much, though.  We’ve always wanted to visit but it’s far from here.  Grade: 1

  • Greetings from S.W.A. / Namibia

    Captions on the reverse, from an era spanning “South West Africa” and “Namibia”, identify Bushman, Ovambo, and Herero groups.  The used card itself is in poor condition, with a vertical fold, and the stamp is missing.  A small bit of unreadable postmark remains.  Grade: 5

    Code: 20441008

    Price: $1.00

    Greetings from S.W.A. / Namibia

  • Herero Women

    Unused card, produced in Namibia, with a photo by Gerald Hoberman.  The registration of the printed text on the reverse seems slightly too much for the boundaries of the card but we do not think the card has been cut in any way.  Grade: 1

    Code: 20441009

    Price: $4.00
