  • Macau (sic), Chateau Cantemerle (France)

    Cards like this can easily slip through the cracks, but it would be a nice gesture of civility for someone who appreciates the finer things–and a lot cheaper than a bottole of old wine.  Embossed, vintage postcard first mailed in 1911 with stamp and postmark.  Very well aged, like that wine.  Grade: 2

  • Here’s t’ye Frien’

    Well.  If we owned a comfy, colourful bar or lounge somewhere, and if it was richly decorated with the kinds of things such bars often are, we would buy this card, and frame it, and stick it on the wall somewhere, and make our customers feel even more welcome.  Mailed from Scotland in 1907, with stamp and full Glasgow postmark.  Suitably aged and abraded.  Grade: 2
