  • Istanbul, interior 34/1425

    Unused Keskin card 34/1425.  The caption on the reverse only says Istanbul-Turkiye without naming the specific location.  Our guess is that it’s inside either the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia, but no guarantees on that.  Grade: 1

    I (heart) Istanbul (set of 7)
  • Town at night

    Let’s call this one of our mystery locations.  It looks like it was produced by a company in Istanbul called “Ankara Cad.” That guarantees nothing, but leaves us fairly certain the town is in Turkey.  Unused.  Grade: 1

    Town at night
  • Constantinople, Roumeli Hissar (castle)

    Rumelihisarı or Boğazkesen Castle is a medieval fortress located in Istanbul on a series of hills on the European banks of the Bosphorus. The fortress also lends its name to the immediate neighborhood around it in the city’s Sarıyer district.  And in 1923, someone wrote a long message, with address (we think), in a most florid handwriting — but the card was not postally used.  Grade: 4

    Code: 20554073

    Price: $5.00

    Constantinople, Roumeli Hissar (castle)
  • Constantinople, view of Beylerbeyi

    Beylerbeyi is a neighborhood in the Üsküdar municipality of Istanbul. It is located on the Asian shore of the Bosporus, to the north of the Bosphorus Bridge.  This is an old (1920s?), unused card, aged but worthy of a collection from the old days.  Grade: 2

    Code: 20554074

    Price: $9.00

    Constantinople, view of Beylerbeyi
  • Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, ornament

    You’ll be familiar with sets of cards whose cardboard wrapper incorporates two more cards on either side.  That’s what’s probably happened here, as this card has been trimmed on one side.  Otherwise unused.  Grade: 2

  • Antalya, Theatre at Aspendus

    Also spelled Aspendos.  Here’s a card from Turkey, mailed from Israel with two different stamps and postmark, from a sender in Lebanon, to the USA.  And now the card is in none of those.  Grade: 3

  • Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, Treasury Section

    Years ago, a set of cards had been sold with a cardboard cover whose two sides could also be used as postcards if they were separated.  This is one of those two sides.  It’s unused, and has some extra leftover paper at the top, so if someone trimmed carefully it would look exactly like a normal but older postcard.  Grade: 3

  • Istanbul, Topkapi Palace, Miniature

    Years ago, a set of cards had been sold with a cardboard cover whose two sides could also be used as postcards if they were separated.  This is one of those two sides.  It’s unused, and looks much like a normal but older postcard.  This “miniature” is from the 17th century.  Grade: 3
