Lot of 2, Setting the Date, Couples Romance circa Late 1920s
*There is a gentle crease along the lower right hand edge of the first card in this lot of 2.*
We hope you find this small lot as much fun as we do. These two cards are from the same original series. The first card was published by one of our favorite Parisian publishers, Alfred Noyer, while the second card bears the logo of EKC. Though Kodak produced a photo print paper under an "EKC" logo starting in around 1939, we doubt it had anything to do with this late 1920s French card, but EKC is not a publisher we have any history on. We wonder if it might have been a subsidiary of Monsieur Noyer's.
We always love finding comparisons between colored and uncolored versions of a card, or failing that, two cards from the same series. Let's us feel like we're given special permission to watch over the colorist's shoulder :)
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
