Description: 3 Greetings Antique Family Postcards. EMB. Gold. Aunt, Cousin, Loved Ones. This is a nice selection of FAMILY GREETINGS postcards that would have been sent out for Best Wishes and love remembrance. These are ANTIQUE postcards from the early 1900's. This lot has a postcard to be sent to one's AUNT, COUSIN, and one is more general and says "Loved Ones At Home". These are EMBOSSED postcards and they have GOLD TRIM in the design. They are nicely drawn, and have good detail, which makes them pleasing to look at. They are colorful and attractive. They show flowers and horseshoes. This is a nice mixture for a collector. Back in the early 1900's, postcards were used to send love and remembrance to people. Hallmark Cards was not yet established until the 1910's, so postcards were used to send best wishes rather than cards inside envelopes. These have now become collector items. These are good postcards to add to a collection. They would appeal to collectors because they capture the style used back in the early 1900s, and provide a "glimpse of life" back then. They are from different publishers. Overall, a nice selection of antique Family Greetings postcards at a reasonable price. The postcards are POSTED and have cancel dates in the 1909-1910 era. These postcards would have been "Printed in Germany" during the Golden Age of Postcards (1908-1915). They have DIVIDED backs. These are BETTER POSTCARDS and good for a collector. The postcards will keep their value! They are sleeved and 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, paper toning, 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 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 Ground Advantage 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. Please visit our eBay store, VINTAGE POSTCARDS FOR COLLECTORS, for other fine antique and vintage postcards and collectible items.
