4 New Year Antique Postcards, EMB w Gold Trim. UND backs. Clock, Flowers, Scenes

Description: 4 New Year Antique Postcards, EMB w Gold Trim. UND backs. Clock, Flowers, Scenes This is a nice selection of NEW YEAR postcards that are ANTIQUE from the early 1900s. This mixture is colorful and has the classic New Year motifs including: RURAL SCENES, FLOWERS, HORSESHOES, GOOD LUCK CHARMS, CLOCKS, FRIENDSHIP MESSAGES, etc. The postcards are nicely drawn, and they have good detail that makes them pleasing to look at. These are EMBOSSED with all having GOLD TRIM in the design. They were made by different publishers. Two of these are foreign and one has the stamp removed. These are UNDIVIDED backs from 1906. Postcards with UNDIVIDED BACKS were used from 1901-1907. An undivided back is a good indicator of the age of the postcard and its historical significance. During this time period, ONLY THE ADDRESS could be put on the back, and any written message had to be done on the front of the postcard. These types of postcards are collector items because of their age, and because of the limited number of such postcards in existence today. Also, collectors like to own postcards that were published in the beginning years of the postcard hobby. These are good postcards to add to a collection. They would appeal to collectors because of their age, their colorful and attractive nature, and the way they capture life back in the early 1900s. Overall, a nice selection of antique New Year postcards at a reasonable price. The postcards are UNPOSTED (1) and POSTED (3) with cancel dates of 1906-08. Some of these postcards would have been "Printed in Germany" during the "Golden Age of Postcards" (1908-1915 era). These are BETTER POSTCARDS and good for a collector. The postcards will keep their value! They are in good condition. Regarding condition, please note that we try to remove damaged postcards from our lots, and only sell those postcards that are worth having in a collection. However, because of their age (over 100 years old!), please expect some creases, cuts, stains, and edge wear on the postcards. We do not want you to be disappointed. Look closely at the photos we provide to see the postcards and the backs. The postcards are shipped in a sturdy envelope. We only ship within the USA; we do not sell or ship internationally. USA shipping is with tracking, and we use eBay Standard Envelope mail when the value is under $20 and the weight is under 3 oz; and, we use USPS First Class mail when the value is over $20 or the weight is over 3 oz. We combine shipping whenever possible. If you purchase multiple lots, you can wait and we will send you an invoice for the combined shipping before you pay. In case you have already paid for the lots, we will still combine the shipment and refund you any extra shipping charges back to your account.
