Code: 37300003
Price: $5.00
Ghost Clock (Wendell Castle)
We had the privilege of seeing the real sculpture at the Renwick in Washington and can attest to its uncanny resemblance to a cloth-draped clock, which it is definitely not. Our thanks to Beau for the card which we now offer to you. Grade: 1

Code: 37300004
Price: $3.00
Clock Tower, Kudat (Malaysian Borneo)
From our series of S.W. Singapore cards, and definitely from a location off the beaten path (Kudat’s all, folks). This card was mailed in 1990, has a Sabah stamp and full Kota Kinabalu postmark. There’s postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 37300006
Price: $4.00
Taipei, Yangmingshan (Taiwan)
The unused card focuses on this floral clock, but Yangmingshan is one of the nine national parks in Taiwan, located in both Taipei and New Taipei City. It’s known for its cherry blossoms, hot springs, sulfur deposits, fumaroles, venomous snakes, and hiking trails, including Taiwan’s tallest dormant volcano, Qixing (Seven Star) Mountain. Maybe there are cards of those too. Grade: 1

Code: 37300007
Price: $3.00
Clock tower in Red Square (Malacca, Malaysia)
You thought the only Red Square was in Moscow? No… This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991 with Negeri Sembilan stamp and full but faint postmark. Some abrasions on front and reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 37300008
Price: $3.50
The Clock Tower, Malacca (Malaysia)
Possibly one of the most photographed spots in the country. One could easily build a collection of postcards showing only this location. S.W. Singapore card M2056, mailed in 1990 with Pahang stamp and half of the postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 37300009
Price: $3.00
Stone Alley, Nantucket (Massachusetts, USA)
Unmailed card from New Bedford News Company (Curteich 86887-N) was folded in half and has a travel agency rubber stamp on the reverse. With edge abrasions also, this card would be OK if framed but is only a space filler otherwise. Grade: 5

Code: 37300010
Price: $1.50
Hong Kong Island viewed from Kowloon
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 37300011
Price: $4.00
Sighișoara, Clock Tower (Romania)
Sighișoara is a city on the Târnava Mare River in Mureș County, in Transylvania. It is a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved walled old town, which is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, though this unused card does not mention that. Maybe in future editions? Grade: 1

Code: 37300012
Price: $4.00

Card has serrated edges and its stamp and blue airmail sticker affixed. Can’t make out postmark details, however. Grade: 3

Berne, Marksman-Fountain and clock-tower (Switzerland)
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 37300018
Price: $3.00
Bern-Zytglockenturm (Switzerland)
This old clock tower’s name has as many different spellings as it does restorations (Wikipedia:) “The Zytglogge (lit. ‘time bell’) is a landmark medieval tower, built in the early 13th century. It has served as guard tower, prison, clock tower, centre of urban life and civic memorial. Despite the many redecorations and renovations it has undergone in its 800 years of existence, the Zytglogge is one of Bern’s most recognisable symbols and the oldest monument of the city, and with its 15th-century astronomical clock it is within a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.” You’re also seeing the Zahringer Fountain. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 37300019
Price: $3.00
Malacca, Clock Tower and Government Buildings (Malaysia)
Unused, mid-century A.S.M.K. & Co. of Singapore, card M-254 (13494-B). That “rosy” colour is distinctive not only to Malacca but also to other locations, like Macau, once under Portuguese influence. Grade: 1

Code: 37300022T
Price: $8.00
Big Ben and Houses of Parliament (London)
Unused Goodprice GPC 218 card. Grade: 1

Code: 37300025
Price: $2.50
Big Ben, London
What can we say? We need a category of “things most often found on postcards” and if you buy this we’ll see to it that you get some kind of a bonus. Mailed in 1986, with a 26p stamp that wasn’t postmarked and a slightly torn blue air mail sticker. Colourmaster card LO2261 or PLX9995, depending on which number you want to believe. Grade: 2

Code: 37300026
Price: $2.50
Big Ben, London
Hard not to notice that the major difference between Big Ben cards is the nature of the traffic on the road below. This was mailed in 1996, with a 41p stamp but no legible postmark. It has a blue air mail sticker. Grade: 2

Code: 37300027
Price: $2.50
Piccadilly by Night, London
Well, as much as you’d like to, you can’t own every postcard in the world, so you can start a sub-specialty of Piccadilly Circus cards showing how the advertising signs change over the years. (See what good marketing people we are?!) Unused, as-new John Hinde card 3L60. Grade: 1

Code: 37300028
Price: $3.50

Code: 37300032
Price: $4.00
Edinburgh, Floral Clock and Gardens (Scotland)
This Dennis Postcard might have been mailed in the late 1980s: we are guided by the 17p stamp of Prince Andrew and the Duchess, but the postmark is too faint for us to read. Grade: 1

Code: 37300033T
Price: $4.00
Kowloon Star Ferry and railroad terminus (Hong Kong)
This series of 2.5″ x 3.5″ B&W glossy photos appear to have been used as templates for real-photo postcards. We can’t be certain of that, but the presence of captions on some of these photos suggests so. The photos had been attached to albums, so the reverses have some paper adhesions. But the fronts are all very good. And very clear, as well. Grade: 3

Code: 37300034
Price: $29.00
Central Post Office, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)
Intensely colourful card, mailed in 1996 with three large stamps of a fish and two full postmarks. Very faint postal barcode on the front–not intrusive. Grade: 2

Price: $1.00
London, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge (England)

Code: 37300037T
Price: $1.00

Code: 37300038
Price: $18.00

Mailed pre-Independence, in 1961, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 37300040
Price: $6.00
Edinburgh, Princes Street, looking East (Scotland)
Despite the minor abrasions, despite 107 years of handling, here is a superb view of Edinburgh with stamp and full 1904 postmark. It can be yours. Grade: 2

Code: 37300043
Price: $45.00
Floral Clock, Frankfort (Kentucky, USA)
A substantial caption with lots of numbers and statistics on the reverse of this unused Curteichcolor card 1DK-968 (KY.48). Grade: 2
