Marvelous. Quite possibly a one of a kind card. In terms of postcards published post 1900 by the major firms, there really are very few that we would choose to call "rare." The term is overused in the vintage postcard market and often misleading. One exception though would be the "RPPC." In the case of this card, a "real photo postcard" of three gorgeously costumed and posed young dancers, locally published by the Bechtinger studio in Trieste in 1927, we have represented the style, place and period beautifully. And in terms of rarity, you probably stand a better chance of taking a walk in the country today and stumbling across a diamond, or a gold nugget, than ever seeing this postcard again. We just love this one!
Very nice condition overall with minor wear to edges and corners and a touch of foxing on the obverse.
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.
