Set 7 Antique Postcards Decoration Day, PUBL: Tuck Series #158. Nice w Value
This is a very nice SET of 7 PATRIOTIC POSTCARDS celebrating DECORATION DAY, the current Memorial Day. These postcards are ANTIQUE from the early 1900s. The postcards were a remembrance and celebration of those who fought and died in the CIVIL WAR. They show soldiers, USA flags, wreaths, parades, medals, etc. These postcards come from publisher Raphael Tuck & Sons who ...is an important and valued publisher. Tuck & Sons published in England from 1866 through the mid 1900s. They are noted for high quality postcards that appeal to collectors. They had the honor to be identified as the "Art Publishers to their Majesties the King & Queen of the United Kingdom.” This is a set of 7 antique postcards for Decoration Day, and Tuck has them as Series #158, "Decoration Day". These are very colorful and attractive with much RED, WHITE, and BLUE. In fact, there is a red, white, and blue border around the pictures of the postcards. Also, the USA flag is used on each of the postcards. Overall, a nice selection of antique Decoration Day patriotic postcards! These are collector items because of their age, TUCK & SONS as the publisher, and their appeal to Decoration Day and patriotic postcard collectors. Not many Decoration Day postcards were produced so these are becoming rare. Also, it is not often that one finds so many of these antique postcards in this set in one lot like this. All of these postcards are UNPOSTED. They are all nicely EMBOSSED, and they have divided backs. They were "Printed in Saxony" around the 1908 era. These are BETTER POSTCARDS and are good for a collector or dealer. They will keep their value. Often these postcards are sold as individual items for many dollars each. As a set like this, they are even more valuable. They are sleeved and in good condition. However, please expect some creases, stains and edge wear due to their age. Some of these postcards have paper peeling on the face. The pictures show the postcards and their backs. They are shipped in a sturdy envelope.
