- 1919 Aeronautical Expo. w/ Scott #C1 Air Mail Stamp
- byheynetboy on14th March, 2010 inPostcard Discussions
- I came across this card in a box I bought at an estate auction a few years back. I have been trying to find some more info on it but haven't been able to find any. It is from the Aeronautical Exposition held in New Yorks Madison Square Garden March 1st - 15th 1919.
  
  What I really find exciting about this card is on the reverse is a Scott #C1 Air Mail 6 cent stamp tied by a March 5 1919 Madison Square Garden postmark that I assume was used only during the Exposition and the message as it reads...

- Rare Baseball Postcard - Babe Ruth in Japan
- byPostcardCollector on14th March, 2010 inPostcard Discussions
- Japanese published postcard with Babe Ruth, color printed with caption in Japanese, truly a rarity in this condition with only slight album marks.
  
  "1931 marked the first American All Star tour of Japan. Although Ruth was not present until the 1934 tour, his reputation proceeded him and he is here proclaimed the "World Home Run King". It was Ruth's great charisma and showmanship on the field that inspired the founding of the first Japanese professional baseball team in 1936. Part of a set of premium postcards issued in conjunction with a children's magazine, Ruth is the only non-Japanese subject, a tribute...

- Identify Reproduction Halloween Postcards
- byBegnClector on13th March, 2010 inPostcard Questions
- I recently found 15 vintage Halloween postcards. Only 1 is signed Ellen Clapsaddle. They all appear to be similar themed cards. One has a green cat, several with black cats, etc.
  
  Any suggestions on how to determine the artist of the unsigned cards. Several have early 1900's date in lower corner. I've been researching online but unsuccessful in locating the same images.
  
  Thanks for any assistance.

- byPostcardCollector on13th March, 2010 inPostcard Discussions
- I don't remember where I got this great image of a pillow made out of what must be vintage leather postcards. If you know of other things made from leather postcards post them here. These are so much fun!

- Novelty Music Box Playing Postcards
- byPostcardCollector on9th March, 2010 inPostcard Discussions
- I have never seen anything like these music box playing postcards before. I would love some more information about these postcards. Does anyone know what type of machine they would have played on? The small square die cut holes are not damaged at all and if one had the right machine they would certainly still play. I have included the descriptions for each one below:
  
  Prague pub. Ser. II Type 4, “Na tom Prazskem moste-”, Great Card! UB
  Prague pub. Ser. II Type 4A, “Na tom, Prazskem Moste-”, Great Card! UB

- World Energy Crisis Solved 100 Years Ago?
- byPostcardCollector on9th March, 2010 inPostcard Discussions
- This postcard shows a schematic for the “Lewis Ocean Motor”, which was powered by the waves of the ocean pumping water into a reservoir which then powered an electric generator. I did a Google search for "Lewis Ocean Motor" and had no results (besides this postcard). I wonder if this design was ever used.
