  • Aerial river view

    Very nice, clear B&W real photo dating from earlier 20th cent. It’s marred only by minor abrasion and that the front corners had been pasted in an album. When the card came out, so did three corner surfaces. Reverse is slightly smudged.  Grade: 4

    Two of these are available. Both are unused and in equivalent condition but one is more orange overall than the other. Both were in albums so there are insignificant indentations diagonally across corners. Reverse of the card that has the more orange color has aged somewhat more. Grades: 2

    What a wonderful card this is for whomever spots it first. B&W, undamaged front; the charm is on the reverse. Mailed from Singapore to a Japanese Marquis in Tokyo, the stamp is intact and so are multiple Singapore and Japanese postmarks from 1909. Message is in Japanese.

  • (Likely) Thaipusam procession

    We say “likely” Thaipusam procession because there is no caption, but we know it’s Singapore from merchant’s sign in background and we have seen real processions in the past. So. This old card was probably B&W fading to sepia, was never mailed, and is in great condition. Grade: 1
