Sing a song of six-pence (USA)

We put the main text for this Migros (supermarket chain) into Google Translate, and it comes back as this, from Turkish: “Allowance başladi! Go downtown to walk around the shops and avail rather than tired”. Okayyyyyy … Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30100411
Price: $2.00
Teatro Cego (Brazil) (not a postcard)

ALKOHOL? Kenn dein Limit (Germany)
Despite the fun they seem to be having (if you don’t speak German), Google tranlates the text as: “Alcohol? Characteristic your limit. Alcohol makes more damage than you think.” The translation might not be perfect, but the point is made on this ad card mailed in 2013 with coloured meter label. The card is significantly creased. Grade: 1

Code: 30100413
Price: $1.00
International Gallery, San Diego (California)
Two of these cards are available. The fronts are the same, but the backs are different: one announces an exhibition in 1996, and the other (undated) announces a “Going Out Of Business” sale.

Schloss Vaduz (Liechtenstein) (Abbott Labs)
Maybe at one time, or now, all doctors and their staffs were stamp collectors. From time to time we run across cards like this one, bulk-mailed (but with real stamp, real postmark) from a foreign country by drug companies marketing thir products. This one went to a doctor in New York in 1958 from Abbott Labs, selling Pentothal Sodium, an anaesthetic. His name is on an address label, and someone has written the name of the country in red ink at bottom reverse. Grade: 4

Bataille de Fleurus (France)
You really need to be paying attention to realize this is an ad card. Though the painting may be in Versailles, the fine print in the caption promotes Sirop de Deschiens, an early 20th century cure-all. Of interest also, the unused card allowed a message on the back for France, Algeria, and Tunisia only. Grade: 1

Code: 30100427
Price: $5.00
Bataille de Zurich (France)
You really need to be paying attention to realize this is an ad card. Though the painting may be in Versailles, the fine print in the caption promotes Sirop de Deschiens, an early 20th century cure-all. Of interest also, the unused card allowed a message on the back for France, Algeria, and Tunisia only. If you want both of the cards in this set (see previous entry), we offer $7. Grade: 1

Price: $5.00
