Greetings from Kokopo Rabaul – multiple views (Papua New Guinea)
If you don’t know Rabaul’s history–and we admit, we didn’t–it’s worth seeing the Wikipedia entry, at least. With that in hand, being there and standing on those shores conveys a range of thought and imagination. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 32400540
Price: $6.00
Milne Bay Province, Nuratu Island, MV Tiari (Papua New Guinea)
Even when you’re there, this is a long way from anywhere. Unused, official Post PNG card, though creased in the way it would be if it had been in someone’s back pocket and they sat on it. Grade: 3

Code: 32400541
Price: $5.00

… between Cape Charles and Norfolk, Virginia. Unused but heavily aged linen card with slight staining on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 32400542
Price: $2.00
Souvenir de Cagnes (France)
Scenes include sailing boats, the beach, and the old village. Not postally used, this card unusually has a long typewritten message (in French) covering the entire reverse. So … how nice to be able to read all of it clearly. Some staining. Grade: 4

Code: 32400543
Price: $1.00
Cherbourg – Quai Alexandre III et Bassin du Commerce (France)
Mailed in 1906, with two stamps and three postmarks, representing sending and receiving offices. As a side note, the message is in some of the smallest handwriting we have ever seen. The writer had a lot to say and was determined to say it. No umbrellas in sight, though. Grade: 3

Code: 32400544
Price: $12.00

We can’t quite read the postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 32400545

Quiberon. – Arrivee du Bateau de Belle-Ile (France)
If you look at the postmark, you’ll think the card was mailed in 1954. If you look at the short message on the back (lacking any address, how was it delivered?), you might think it was 1934. Unless your name is Celine and you write and tell us, we’ll never know. Grade: 2

Code: 32400546
Price: $6.00
Toulon – Marine de Guerre
Stamp is here, and postmark that reluctantly reveals the year as “19_9”. Guessing 1939, but … Multiple views of different ships in the military fleet, including Courset (Cuirasse), Algerie (Croiseur), Surcouf (Sous Marin), and Bearn (Porte Avions). Instructive. Grade: 3

Code: 32400547
Price: $6.00
Contra-Torpilleur “Tigre” (France)
Mailed in 1941. One very clear–and another less distinct–postmark are there, but no stamp. Instead, a round “chop” indicating a stamp was not necessary as the card was posted by a soldier. Grade: 3

Code: 32400548
Price: $7.00
Le Bateau excursionniste le “Brighton Queen” en pleine mer
Built in 1905, a quick search reveals the vessel’s sad end: “In 1939 the paddle steamer Brighton Queen PSS was taken over by the Admiralty for service as a minesweeper. Her naval career did not last long for she was sunk by German gunfire on June 1st, 1940, during the evacuation of the British Army from the Dunkirk beaches.” Grade: 3

Code: 32400549
Price: $11.00
Marine Militaire Francaise – “Belier” Torpilleur d’Escadre (France)
Written by a soldier to a soldier in 1914, here’s an iconic wartime postcard with multiple 1914 postmarks but no need for a stamp (as an imprint on the reverse shows). Entirely apart from the historical value of the postcard, we enjoyed seeing that the name of the recipient was Monsieur Pierre Fromage. Yes, we know it’s not a unique name but we enjoyed seeing it anyway. Grade: 3

Code: 32400550
Price: $12.00

Price: $3.00
