Chamonix and Mt. Blanc
Not just Mt. Blanc, but seven others as well on this card captioned “Chamonix – La Flegere et Vue sur la Chaine du Mont-Blanc”. Though this computer doesn’t do accents, you will get the idea. Levy & Neurdein Reunis card not postally used but with a message dated 1927 inked on the reverse. Grade: 4

Paris
Unused Iris/Mexichrome card 349 (we think) with serrated edges and the reverse caption largely blotted out by a massive purple rubber stamp (placed pre-original sale) saying “PARIS est toujours PARIS, passez-y vos vacances:” which is all well and good but blotting out the original caption sort of defeats the purpose, wouldn’t you think? Grade: 3

Code: 20519047

Paris, Jardin du Luxembourg – Le Senat
Almost certainly one of the oldest postcards we have in stock. This was mailed in November, 1900. Two stamps are there along with four postmarks: three from Paris and one from Riesa, which is either the town in Germany or someplace else we can’t identify. This old card has some battering and battle scars but is intact, clear, and superbly ancient. Grade: 2

Code: 20519062
Price: $5.00
Paris, Les Fontaines du Palais de Chaillot et la Tour Eiffel
What we can tell from this card, with serrated edges and mailed in 1955 using a postage meter, is that it was a special mailing from the Tower itself, complete with commemorative red medallion on the reverse (probably part of the postage meter) and a special non-postal stamp saying “Souvenir de la Tour Eiffel”. In other words, you only got this card if you went into the Eiffel Tower. Grade: 1

Have you been looking for a Talmont Bourgenay postcard? Here it is, unused, and the two “heart” areas are cut out.
