The "funeral" card is a wedding I would say. The bride and groom are in the centre, with the bride carrying a large bouquet of flowers, groom has a watch chain, and maids of honour either side of couple carrying flowers. Probably 1900 to 1905 going from fashions. :)
The hands across the sea idea is quite common in early cards and refers to the Atlantic Ocean. Extending thoughts and best wishes between USA/Canada and UK, across the ocean. If you look, both cards are addressed to UK. :)
I love the last card of the fancy dress! There are UK flags hanging around the back of the hall, so I think it's taken in UK. The women in the exotic costumes front left look like they are trying to emulate Maud Allen's Salome costume. She was famous for the dance of the Seven Veils and appears on many golden age postcards in a similar costume. The guy in the fur coat is perhaps supposed to be Robert Falcon Scott, who died 1912, and cowboy guy looks like Buffalo Bill Cody, who died 1917. So card is probably between 1912 to start of WWI. Would love to know if anyone can identify any of the other characters. :)
I'm not sure if you got the joke about the "bitter" card lol. In the UK, perhaps elsewhere too, a pint of bitter is a pint of beer. So the guy is dreaming about a pint of bitter, and will feel bitterly disappointed on waking that the pint of bitter was only a dream. Usually in that type of card the guy is dreaming about the girl, but here he is more interested in the beer! There must be loads of beer collectors that would love to own this card. :)
Great collection of cards, very interesting. Thank you for sharing them! :)
Any postcards that state inland postage on the back somewhere are generally from the U.K..
As a collector of ship postcards, this was amazing to watch ☺️
Not a common HBG Halloween. Most I sell for $20-$25 but you should get $30 or so for that one
Nice finds!
I was surprised to see you handling these beautiful cards without having gloves on. Oil from your fingers is now added to them.
Just thought I would try my hand at selling some postcards. How do you ship them safely?? Thank you. Should I try bidding or buy outright? Suggestions please.
Black cats are not considered bad luck in all parts of the world. In Japan black cats are seen as good luck symbols who can ward away evil spirits.
The George Carpentier card is a beauty !
Was there a stamp that the Post Office put on the back of a photo to turn it into a post card?
St. Ignatius may be the Jesuit Catholic Prep School in Chicago.
Does anyone have an opinion on selling cards to Cherryland auctions, or Cardcow?
Thank you much.
The very last card that had Empire Day on the back: looks like kids dressed up to represent all of England’s worldwide colonies. The English Empire. Probably a school play or pageant.
LANDS END IS THE END OF A 630 MILE HIKING South West Coast Path.
From the large quantity of US postcards continuously advertised for sale on eBay UK it is clearly an easy thing for US sellers to do.
So you probably know that your English WW1 Postcards should also be offered for sale on eBay UK.
15:06 They’re Freemasons, not military.
The men look Fraternal not military.
Yes, the men with the fancy collars and one has an apron with a triangle on looks like Masons (Masonic). My dad was a Mason.
Or
Canada - hands across the sea -
could be Canada and the UK in either of the last two world wars.
Native American for good luck. Very interesting history behind this symbol.
Found ya Cousin 😂
3 Girls might be Communion
