Code: 20316497
Price: $2.50
Kuala Lumpur, Hilton Hotel fruitcake
To their credit, the now-defunct Hilton Hotel in K.L. did not call fruitcake a “traditional Malaysian dessert.” They just left the caption off the card. Two cards from the 1980s are available. One is unused, aging on the reverse (Grade: 2, $2.50) and the other was mailed in 1983 with two stamps but no legible postmark (Grade: 1, $3).

Kuala Lumpur, Hilton Hotel Paddock
In its day, the Hilton was arguably the greatest of the mass-market hotels in Malaysia. But it’s gone now. We remember some interesting times there. Four cards from the 1980s are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $4). Three were mailed, each with two stamps and partial postmark (Grades: 2, $4.50).

Code: 20316502
Price: $3.50
Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves art gallery
Maybe not “art” in a conventional western sense, but definitely art nonetheless. Nice card mailed in 1985 with three stamps and legible postmark, as well as blue “mel udara” (airmail) sticker affixed. Image of an American postmark on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20316503

Two of these are available. One was mailed in 1984 but the stamp has fallen off (Grade: 4, $3). The other was mailed in 1983, with three different stamps and legible postmark–a nice card overall (Grade: 1, $6.50)

Code: 20316509
Price: $3.00
Malacca, Shah’s Beach Motel
Yes, even in Malaysia there are motels. The caption says this one has 600 years of tradition, but we don’t think the facility is that old. It just looked that way. Unused card from the late 1980s. Grade: 1

Code: 20316510
Price: $4.50

Unused Abdul Majeed card 88.100.94 267961 from the 1980s. Grade: 1

Kuala Lumpur, Hotel Merlin
When this unused card was printed, the Merlin was the “Largest Hotel in Malaysia.” That title may have passed, but in its day the Merlin was quite the social centre. We must verify availability of this card. Grade: 1

Code: 20316520
Price: $3.00
Malacca, Al-Azin Mosque
This 5″ x 7″ Oriental Pearl card 13086 was mailed in 1991 with one stamp and mostly legible postmark. Grade; 1

Code: 20316522
Price: $3.50
Tioman Island, quiet and serene beach
It definitely is quiet and serene but also one of the few beaches in Malaysia where swimming is neither unpleasant nor dangerous. Card is 5″ x 7″, mailed in the late 1980s with two stamps but indistinct postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20316523
Price: $3.00
Cameron Highlands, vegetable farm
Three of these mailed 5″ x 7″ cards are available. One in 1991, with stamp and partly legible postmark (Grade: 3, $4), and the other two in 1990 with stamp and legible postmarks (Grade: 1, $6).

Boh Tea garden
This Oriental Pearl 5″ x 7″ card 13072 was mailed in 1990 with Johor stamp and postmark, and is a little creased by mailing on the top part. Nothing significant. Grade: 2

Price: $2.00
Kota Bharu, market scene
Nice photo of this market on two 5″ x 7″ Oriental Pearl cards 13044, mailed in the early 1990s. One is from Johor with postmark and stamp (Grade: 1, $4). The other is from Kelantan with only partial postmark, corner abrasions, and a tiny wormhole on lower left margin (Grade: 3, $2.50). Note, for no particular reason, all those different types of bananas in the photo. Malaysia has so many. The best are the little ones not much larger than a thumb. So sweet you can hardly accept the “normal” ones after that.

Code: 20316528
Price: $4.00
Malaysian Beach scene
An idealistic 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ scene, mailed in 1988 with one stamp and mostly legible postmark. Grade: 3

Penang, colonial architecture
Away from the doubtful beaches and yummy food, Penang has some remarkable architecture. This 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ card shows one example. Mailed in 2002 with stamp and postmark, it can be yours. Grade: 1

Code: 20316539

Code: 20316540
Price: $3.50
Kuantan, Pantai Gebeng
Indeed, a beach, though not necessarily one that would attract many people and based on its location (and the age of the card, 1980s) it may not even be there now. We will not be going back to look. Two unused cards are available. One is Grade: 1 ($4) and the other is Grade: 3 ($2).

Code: 20316541
Price: $4.00
Penang, Kavadi at Thaipusam
There can be few more colourful or unusual festivals in the world than this one. Really. This is an unused Abdul Majeed card 88.100.123.271 975 from the 1980s. Grade: 2

Unused Yacine card 18188, 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″. The name of its location is misspelled as “Shas Alam” in the caption on reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20316550
Price: $3.00
Malacca, Galleon Flora de la Mar
Two of these unused, larger Yacine cards are available. Odd, the cards are real but the ship itself is only a replica. Grades: 1

Code: 20316551
Price: $3.00
Malaysia, The Country
Every one of these scenes is identified on the reverse of this Abdul Majeed card 102-237, mailed from Penang in 1991 with a Pulau Pinang stamp very heavily postmarked. Some postmark smudging on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20316552

Code: 20316553
Price: $3.00
Paka, fishing village
Been through there many times in the past, always on the way to somewhere. Maybe we should have stopped. Card was mailed in 1991 with Pulau Pinang stamp and indistinct postmark. Grade: 2

Price: $3.00
Dungun, Trengganu, turtle
Unused card from 1981. (For this card, before we sell it, we need to verify the condition. If you’re interested, please ask first.) Grade: 2

Code: 20316556
Price: $2.00
Kuala Selangor, lighthouse
It was a terrific Sunday drive through rural areas to reach this lighthouse, see all the monkeys, and eat in the local “gerai makan.” No doubt the lighthouse is still there but we doubt the experience would be the same. This card was mailed in 1991 with a Negeri Sembilan stamp and full postmark, and will be a wonderful addition to anyone’s collection of lighthouse postcards. Grade: 1

Code: 20316558
Price: $11.00

One of our “value” cards, a beach scene with Kelantan stamp and full, legible postmark. Grade: 1
