Dreaming of love I crossed the street,
And then we met
I sank fair maiden at your feet,

Sending a little piece of history chosen by you. This is not a reproduction, it is a genuine antique original around 100 years old !

They are also a lovely bit of social history, if it isn't blank you often get to see what people were writing to each other over a century ago.

Please be aware, as these may have been through the postal system once already and are often over 100 years old, some fading and wear comensurate with age is inevitable.
If you are looking for a pristine, new, mint, squeeky condition, these are probably not for you, although some are in very good condition.

If you are looking for character and a unique gift you have come to the right place.
This is truly in the spirit of recycling as the receiver can remove the card put it out on display, in an albumn or even put it in a photo window greetings card themselves and post it out to someone else !

The great thing about these cards is that the early 20th century was the heyday for postcards and there are literally hundreds of great designs, both romantic, humourous and downright weird specially selected for you by The Card Museum. There will always be something to suit everyone.
