Benares, Dassamedh Ghat
The stamp and most of the postmark are very long gone on this Tuck’s “Oilette” card. It seems actually to have been mailed from India to the USA, and is an advertisement for India tea, for sale by a merchant in Minneapolis. We hope you get the idea. Grade: 4

Price: $4.00
Agra, Fatehpur Sikri (?)
This unused real-photo card has no caption but is attributed to K. Lall & Co. of Agra & Chakrata. We think it reflects something of Fatehpur Sikri but our memory of that isn’t clear enough to guarantee it. Grade: 1

Code: 20309078
Price: $4.00
Raksha
The sender described this as a “satirical card mocking Indian classified ads,” and having read some of those ads during our time in India, we think that’s a pretty good description. Oversized (5-1/2″ x 8″) and battered during transit, it has three stamps, postmark, and an address label. Grade: 4

Code: 20309079

A large (5-1/8″ x 7″) card for a large monument, mailed in 1986 with: three stamps, a blue airmail sticker, a mostly readable postmark, and another chop indicating that the card had first been “Missent to Bangkok”. By a miracle, it found its correct destination. We’ll give this postcard Grade: 1

Code: 20309087T
Price: $8.00
Madras, Mahabalipuram Shore Temple
Let’s make this clear up front: the postcard was published by Malaysian Airline System (MAS), with their logo, and was mailed using a postage meter from Subang Airport in Kuala Lumpur in 1984. It has never seen India. But like many other airlines, MAS featured its major destinations on postcards, and this was no exception. Grade: 1
