Code: 20388086
Price: $2.00
Street in Penang
Iconic old, unused card. Appropriately aged, and otherwise clean. A nice and worthwhile addition to postcards of old Malaya. Grade: 1

Price: $19.00
Kangar, Masjid Alwah
Mailed in 1990 with a Kedah stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20388089
Price: $2.00
Penang Bridge by Night
C.T. Fong Fascination Series card, unused, but that’s the only good thing to say about this. Extremely heavily aged and stained on the reverse. Grade: 5

Code: 20388091
Price: $0.50
Melaka, A Famosa
Unused, but heavily aged and handled. Grade: 3

Code: 20388092
Price: $1.00

Unused card, and you might compare this with our other entry 20316394. Grade: 1

Code: 20388097
Price: $2.00
Kuala Lumpur, multiple views
Mailed in 2019 with stamp and full, clear postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20388128
Price: $3.00
Penang’s famous Char Kuei Tiao
Actually the real thing is delicious and looks better than it does in this photo, but the card itself is in good shape, mailed in 2014 with stamp and Melaka postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20388129
Price: $3.00
Penang, Rasa Sayang Hotel’s beach
We once watched a seabird fly over this beach and drop a dead fish onto people lying on a towel there, and that more or less sums up our memories of this spot. The card itself, mailed in 1982, is in no better condition. Grade: 5

Code: 20388131T
Price: $0.30
Desaru Holiday Resort
Despite our many years in Malaysia, we never got to Desaru. We should have made the effort. This card was mailed in 1982, with stamp and some overlapping postmarks. That spot you see in the clouds above the centre panel is a thumbtack hole. Grade: 4

Code: 20388132T
Price: $1.00
Beach
The only good thing to say about this card with its generic beach scene is that it still has the stamp from when it was mailed in 1981. Along with the stamp, however — at least not through it — are several thumbtack holes. Grade: 5

Code: 20388133T
Price: $0.30
Kota Bharu, Bulatan Wakaf Siku
A “Bulatan” is a traffic circle (roundabout) and so it is, on this card mailed maybe in 1980 (complex postmark) whose stamp is there, along with a thumbtack hole. Grade: 4

Code: 20388134T
Price: $1.00
Malacca
In fact the total caption on this unused card is “Malacca, Malaya”, suggesting that it was printed before 1963 — when Malaya became Malaysia. That’s a complicated story for another time and place. Grade: 1

Code: 20388135T
Price: $5.00
Winnowing Rice
Captioned as “Malaya”, so this unused card pre-dates 1963. Grade: 1

Code: 20388136T
Price: $5.00
Tin Dredge
Another card captioned as “Malaya”, so produced before 1963, but note the sticker on the upper right corner. Grade: 5

Code: 20388137T
Price: $1.00
Tin Mine
From the series of unused pre-1963 “Malaya” cards. Grade: 1

Code: 20388138T
Price: $6.00
Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, on an unused mid-century card. Grade 1

Code: 20388139T
Price: $8.00
Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves
“Daily visited by sightseers” (a massive understatement, particularly during the Thaipusam festival), Batu Caves may be one of KL’s primary tourist attractions as well as a deeply religious site for Hindus. Unused “Colourful Malaya” card SL-615 (22675) with a bit of age foxing on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20388140T
Price: $8.00
Kuala Lumpur International Airport
Captioned in English and Chinese, the facility shown on this unused card goes back several generations. Grade: 1

Code: 20388141T
Price: $16.00
Perak, Taiping Lake
Unused, pre-1963 (“Malaya”) card captioned in English and Chinese. Grade: 1

Code: 20388144T
Price: $2.00
Rubber Tapping
Close-up of a procedure unchanged in Malaysia since the beginning, on this unused pre-1963 (“Malaya”) card 5180B. Grade: 1

Code: 20388145T
Price: $5.00
Removing Latex from Rubber Tree
Unattributed, unused pre-1963 card (“Malaya”) 34476-B. Grade: 1

Code: 20388146T
Price: $6.00
$Removing Latex from Rubber Tree$
Tin Dredge
Unused B&W card published before 1963 (“Malaya”). Grade: 1

Code: 20388147T
Price: $5.00
Planting Rice
Could be in any Southeast Asian country, but it’s (pre-1963) Malaya. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 20388148T
Price: $5.00
Rubber Tapping
Maybe compare this pre-1963 (“Malaya”) unused card with our entry 20388145T. Grade: 1

Code: 20388149T
Price: $5.00
Penang, The Snake Temple
Those snakes don’t need to do much to earn their keep. They’re basically drugged by the incense smoke. Unused pre-1963 Colourful Malaya postcard P-421, with English and Chinese captions. Grade: 1

Code: 20388150T
Price: $5.00
Penang Hill Railway
Unused older Tichnor Bros. Lusterchrome card K-8046, with minor age foxing on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20388151T
Price: $5.00
Penang, War Memorial
Commemorates those who died during WWII. This is an unused Malayan Color Views card P 402 (9978), captioned in English and Chinese. Grade: 1

Code: 20388152T
Price: $6.00
Penang, George Town
Penang itself has a sort of split personality, psychological as well as geographical — as does George Town, the capital of the state, whose name sometimes gets combined into one word. This unused Malayan Color Views postcard P-452 (37155) is older, and has a creased upper right corner. Otherwise clean. Grade: 2

Code: 20388153T
Price: $5.00
Malacca, An Ancient Fort
Built during the 18th century by a Portuguese soldier, Alfonso Albuquerque. The unused postcard is not quite as old, but now genuinely antique: published mid-20th century as M-254 (13495-B) by A.S.M.K. & Co. of Singapore. Grade: 1

Code: 20388154T
Price: $4.00
Malacca River
Here’s unused, mid-century A.S.M.K. & Co. card M 266 (K-8579) showing not only the river but also the Church of St. Francis Xavier. Grade: 1

Code: 20388155T
Price: $6.00
Malacca, Bullock Carts
According to the caption on this unused mid-century A.S.M.K. & Co. card M269 (C-18684), “people from far off kampongs (villages) travel in these carts as these are the very useful and economical forms of transport”. It’s true, the bullocks didn’t guzzle petrol but they still had to eat. Grade 1

Code: 20388156T
Price: $4.00
Malacca, St. Paul’s Church
Unused, pre-1963 (“Malaya”) card published by A.S.M.K. & Co. of Singapore (M-253, and 10827-B). Grade: 1

Code: 20388157T
Price: $4.00
