For about 15 years I have been collecting world naval warship postcards. I have approximately 2000 postcards. The postcards are mainly pre-1945. The warships are from all over the world, predominantly the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. I also own some postcard views of the more famous warships of the 20th Century such as the Bismarck and Emden. Most of the warships in my collection are from the Pre-Dreadnought era (late 1800s to 1906).




Comment: This is certainly member of top ten postcard sites: it is marked by a. scientific precision of data, 2. perfect layout 3. logical and so instructive structure.
I have been amazed by the richness of the choice and still rigorous adherence to the theme.
No other site, apart from the Maltese Aiibus Captain site on airlines postcards.
I studied several section of this magnificent site and would like to emphasise the balance of the site in general
As deltiologist I would have only one recommendation: adding some information giving more information on a few vintage postcards, if possible, including e g whether it is mint or used, the stamps used, the cancellation stamps, when no considered in conflict with privacy laws (the postcards older than 70 years are in general considered as eligible) quoting the text on the back - or before 1902 (aprox) on the front.
Once again,

Comment: This site offers airline postcards for trading and you can find some surprising and unique pieces in the category commercial - which is normally slightly neglected by collectors and without justification. Here I have found to some disappointment only fresh or mint postcards and no sent, which I prefer and so does many a contemporary deltiologist. There is a good deal of first hand and quality information to study on the sent ones, whereas the mints are only magnificent in colour but kind a sterile. They lack the perfume of distance in time and space, stamps, or a few of those words written by hand. This is so appealing, this gives even some thrill when I study where it was posted, which state issued the stamps and the cancellation stamp print is a short detective story.
The site was a refreshing experience.

We are retired and love to scour the countryside for rare and unusual items which catch our eye. Now, something has to move out to make room for the new, so we are offering these items for your consideration and selection:

Early 1900's Sheet Music including World War I era.

Early 1900's Penny Postcards

If there is anything of interest to you I will be glad to send you a more detailed accounting or picture. Just e-mail meno postcards on this site

I am sorry to say that my visit to this site was useless - the links to the auctions are dead and I could not find a single Penny Postcard, although I was trying quite hard.

My Collection of Edwardian, Victorian & Modern Postcards.







I really enjoyed this site. all postcards are of excellent authenticity and quality. A few are posted, i e used, adding the extra value of the time almost 100 years ago. The combination of tint and colour and photography is amost quintessential for this period. The subchapter on the Royal Post is a valuable resource for both philatelist and deltiologist.

Elianny's P scard Page


Welcome to my site! First of all, let me introduce myself........My name it's Elianny (23 years old), I'm from Dominican Republic, a beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean, sorrounded by wonderful turquoise water and full of great people. My city its the capital Santo Domingo, home of the first city of the New World.



I received my first postcard in 1999, and that gave me the idea of having a new hobby: Postcard Collecting! My collection is still pretty small, but now that I've finished university I´m really dedicating time to it!

I love postcard collecting because its an amazing way to discover new places and enjoy the wonders of each country. I'm trying to get at least five cards of each country, and I sure with your help I'm going to get them.

Please enjoy the page and feel free to contact me!

Comment: Today I am visiting The Dominican Republic. The webmaster lives in Santo Domingo - this is always music in the deltiologist's ears to hear that yet another person discovered the beauties and niceties of poatcard collecting. and collecting the countries and towns is one of the best themes in postcard collection. The swap of 5 or more postcards in one envelope, a proven method but again the values of the sent, with cancellation stamp prints and postal stamps of the caountry of origin, they are likely to lose some of that hidden appeal of the touch of the distance in SPACE and TIME. I am looking forward to addditions to this promising site.

Comment - this stop is only a short one - a lovely small site with a few samples of postcards. The drawings are realistic and honest, they want tell their story, unlike tthose abstract would be artictic works pretending too much insight and alowwing not even the most superficial impression
