Encyclopaedia Britannica
Interesting little artifact from the day when Encyclopedia was spelled Encyclopaedia, and when there were encyclopedias at all. The text speaks for itself; on the other side, it had been stamped for mailing to Sears Roebuck but the stamp was then peeled off. Grade: 4

Code: 30100131
Price: $3.00

Bambule Lounge, events (Washington, DC)
What you see in the scan is one event; the other side of the card, a different event but similar design, from 2009. As we often do, we checked to see if we could get more information about the lounge. The word “Bambule” has odd connotations to start, and German speakers must have wondered. But this place closed in, probably, 2011. Grade: 1

Code: 30100134
Price: $1.00
Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong
Unused card from 2018. Message area is pre-printed in Chinese and English with event information. Grade: 1

J.L. Brown calendar
Probably late in 1917, an American company called J.L. Brown sent this (unused, unmailed) card to its customers with a message fully taking up that area, inviting the customer to come in for the full year’s 1918 calendar as a gift. We’ve no idea what kind of company it was, or even where; but if we did, we would be tempted to try — even now. Grade: 1

Code: 30100136
Price: $4.00

McAlester, Cassada Clothing, May 1912 calendar (Oklahoma, USA)
Cassada actually lives on as a clothing brand name, online at least, though the McAlester store itself is long gone. Its memory survives in this brilliant, ancient ad card whose calendar is unfortunately positioned behind a field of flowers. Mailed in May of 1912 with stamp and complete postmark, this is about as good as advertising postcards get. Grade: 1

Code: 30100144
Price: $5.00

Code: 30100145

Code: 30100147
Price: $1.00
bread porn (Hong Kong)
Six of these unused cards for the Saffron Bakery chain in Hong Kong are available. As we sometimes do, we looked to see if the outlets are still there. Not all are, and online reviews are … um … mostly awful. We like the postcard, though. Grades: 1

Code: 30100148
Price: $1.00

Code: 30100163
