Fountains – Global Postcard Sales

Showing 1–40 of 156 postcards

Plaza Square Fountain (Orange, California)
Continental Postcard C-219 mailed from USA to Malaysia in 1984 but according to a large rubber stamp on the reverse it was “Missent to Manila” first. Stamp and postmark are intact, card is normally aged. Grade: 2

Code: 33500002
Price: $2.00
Exposition Park and USC (Los Angeles)
Unused Western Publishing card (L-106) with a view little changed over the years. Grade: 2

Code: 33500003
Price: $3.00

Mill Street Mall Fountain (Aspen, Colorado)

Why are so many Colorado cards printed in other countries? This one, Switzerland, but maybe that is appropriate for Colorado anyway so we won’t say any more. Card was however mailed to Hong Kong in 1983 with one 40-cent stamp and full Denver postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 33500004

Price: $1.00

Mill Street Mall Fountain (Aspen, Colorado)

White House, Washington
Stamped for mailing in mid-1970s, and was written, but has no postmark, so who knows. Card has crease diagonally through lower right front corner. Yes, we know postcards of the White House are not in short supply–but you really want this one, don’t you? Grade: 4

Code: 33500005
Price: $2.50
Buckingham Fountain (Chicago, USA)
This (1960s?) unused Dexter / Nelson Jones card 50843-B (and #10) claimed this Buckingham Fountain to be “the largest fountain of its type in the world.” We always enjoy those little provisos, like saying Global Postcard Sales is the “largest postcard website of its type in the world.” We suspect other sites might argue. Grade: 2

Code: 33500006
Price: $2.00
Tyler-Davidson Fountain (Cincinnati, Ohio)
To be precise, Tyler-Davidson Fountain, donated in 1871 and depicting the “Genius of Water.” Unused but heavily aging Dexter Press card DT-84746-B from 1964. Grade: 3

Code: 33500007
Price: $1.00

Code: 33500008
Price: $3.50
Fountain of the Primitive Head, Villahermosa (Mexico)
Like looking in a mirror! No, not really, just joking. Unused Cabeza Mexfotocolor postcard, probably 1960s, rounded corners and well-worn on reverse. It was never a high-quality card but is good of kind. Grade: 3

Code: 33500009
Price: $5.50

Relatively newer and unused card, little bit rough around the edges but not otherwise damaged. Offered to Monica with peluks. Grade: 2

Price: $7.00
The fountain at the Botanical Garden (Hong Kong)
Your chance to get this unused O.F. Ribeiro card 34674 at a value price. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s just not too exciting. Grade: 2

Code: 33500014
Price: $3.00
Leal Senado (Macau)
One of Macau’s two most iconic locations. It still looks like this, but at the same time it doesn’t, and we guess you need to visit there to see what we mean. Three cards from the 1970s are available. Two are unused (Grades: 1, $19) and one was mailed in 1983, with three nice stamps and a readable postmark (Grade: 1, $43)

Code: 33500015
Price: $19.00
Kuala Lumpur, from Dataran Merdeka
Two are available, each mailed in early 90s and each with one stamp. One is heavily postmarked but not entirely legibly; the other has a bit of postmark that missed the stamp. That one has a smudge on front (Grade: 3, $3.50) and the other is clean (Grade: 2, $4).

Code: 33500016
Price: $4.00
View from Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
Two cards are available. One from 1990 has stamp and mostly legible postmark (Grade: 2, $4). One from 1990 is about the same on reverse but has postmark ink smudging on front (Grade: 3, $3).

Code: 33500017
Price: $4.00
Merdeka Square (Kuala Lumpur)
If not for the massive postmarking on front, this would be a splendid card. As it is, even with stamp and readable postmark on reverse, it can only be rated Grade: 4

Code: 33500018
Price: $4.00
Sentosa Musical Fountain (Singapore)
Card was mailed from Malaysia in 1990, has Kelantan stamp and partly legible postmark. Lower right front corner crease, not too visible. Grade: 3

Price: $4.00
Fountain in central Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)
More or less everything you could want in a contemporary Vietnamese postcard. This was mailed in 1997, has three colourful stamps (one is folded on one edge) and full postmarks. It also has faint orange postal barcodes scattered around the reverse, and a Vietnamese “par avion” stamp as well. Grade: 2

Code: 33500020
Price: $9.00
Peace Square at night (Saigon)
The condition of the card itself is ordinary; it’s just that the photo wasn’t clear even when the card was printed. This unused card dates from the 1970s and suggests a much different type of life. Grade: 2

Code: 33500021
Price: $9.50
Midan El Tahrir (Liberation Square), Cairo
Unused Kruger 745/18 card from mid-60s. Serrated edges. Front has minor edge abrasions; reverse is unmarked but aging a bit. Update since we first wrote this description: the world will remember Tahrir Square. Grade: 3

Code: 33500022
Price: $5.00
Suez, The Fountain
Not sure what it is about this unused old card but it evokes so much exotic glamour. It has various index numbers: Cairo Post-Card Trust 0184, Serie 649. Anyway…the card itself has minor edge abrasion (very minor) on front, and aged reverse, but otherwise in great condition. Grade: 2

Code: 33500023
Price: $16.00
Tinubu Square fountain, Lagos (Nigeria)
If you see this postcard up close, it looks like there is a big fold right through it–but that’s actually water coming from the fountain. The card is from mid-60s, unused and in excellent condition. Grade: 1

Code: 33500025
Price: $7.50
Fontaine Lumineuse (Lome, Togo)
B&W Fumey card, serrated edges, never mailed, undamaged. Grade: 1

Vigeland sculptures (Oslo)
Unused card bought in 1969, virtually as-new. Grade: 1

Code: 33500030

Lake Gardens, National Monument (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
Americans would be forgiven for doing a double-take here, and can thank Felix de Weldon for that. Two cards are available, both mailed in 1991, with stamp, mostly readable postmark, and barest ink smudge on the fronts. Grades: 2

Code: 33500034
Price: $4.00

Code: 33500042
