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

Code: 30100146
Price: $1.50
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

Happily Never After (Hong Kong)
Sometimes we’d like to sit down with cards’ designers and ask them why they do things like use white printing on light grey background. But as that’s impractical, we will offer the end result instead. Three of these are here, from a 2010 performance. Grades: 1

Code: 30100163
Price: $1.00

2019 – 47th Hong Kong Arts Festival – Sao Paulo Symphony
This 6″ x 8-3/4″ card was mailed to Hong Kong residents using Hongkong Post’s bilingual pre-printed postage. Up there along with the imprint, where it says “Exempted,” that means even if a resident has chosen to opt-out of receiving advertising circulars, they are going to receive this one anyway. The other side of the card is similarly fully printed for Wagner’s Tannhauser. (Spoiled for choice!) Grade: 1

Code: 30100166
Price: $2.00
