Provenance

This is a rare set from a New England collection. I was told that these postcards were from the early part of the 1920s collected as part of a Grand Tour. The cards photographed are the cards included. Size may vary.

Condition

These postcards are generally clean but may show age‑related wear, including possible rubbing, toning, foxing, corner wear, album marks, or light soiling. The antique blue box shows typical age‑related wear consistent with early 20th‑century storage.
