  • Oba Oyekan II – Crowd on Capping Day

    This unused postcard from the 1960s has minor edge abrasions but is generally in excellent condition. There are a few exotic (to us) words printed on the back: Menge, Muetzentag, Gorra. If those look like keywords, we guess that’s OK too. Grade: 1

    If you see this postcard up close, it looks like there is a big fold right through it–but that’s actually water coming from the fountain. The card is from mid-60s, unused and in excellent condition.  Grade: 1
