  • Sahkoveturi Sr2 3214

    Non-Finnish-speakers may find the caption daunting (Suomen Rautatiemuseo Hyvinkaa, Sahkoveturi Sr2 3214, Valmistaja ABB/SLM/Transtech, 1997) and we know this card to have come from the Finnish Railway Museum.  Actually we have three of them.  Two are in identical conditions:  one was mailed in 2011 with stamp and Priority label, but no postmark, and the other in 2012 (Grades: 3, $6) and the other in 2011 with stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $8).

  • Helsinki, HKL 150 trolley

    One really needs help to deal with Finnish-language captions, but it’s a tramway.  (FYI, the caption reads:  HKL 150 (Duwag/BBC) 1967/1970 Senaatintori) and the picture itself seems to have been taken in 2005.  This card was mailed in 2012, with Priority label and one stamp, partial postmark, and name label affixed.  Grade: 3
