Card advertising Price Tours probably dates from 40s or 50s but in 1970 the reverse was completely pasted over with another piece of paper, and the card with a new message was mailed from the USA. That stamp and postmark are OK but only the front of this card has value. It would be nice if framed. Grade: 5

Code: 20104001
Price: $2.00

La Habana, The East Beach, Atlantico Hotel
In Spanish, Playas del Este. We aren’t certain whether this property is the same as the “Gran Caribe Club Atlantico” that comes up online when we try to Google it, but the Gran Caribe version takes a bit of flak.

Code: 20104036
Price: $3.00
