$2.99

Hi,

The photos say everything you need to know about the subject. For more on the type it is, please read the paragraphs below if you are just learning.

I use an expensive Epson FastFoto FF-680W to copy my postcards. Most scanners are really document scanners and do not show the postcards true colors, defects and more. I also copy at 600DPI which is twice as much as most postcards listed on .

Why buy from me? Not only do I offer you a nice collectable that I researched for you, I kind of know what I am talking about! If I make a mistake...feel free to message me.

Postcard Type

This is a Linen Postcard with a White Border. Yes, they did make these. White Border Postcards were first made to save on ink but with the switch to Linen Postcards in 1930, many postcard publishers filled the postcard to the edge but some carried over the White Border look. Linen Postcards are easily identified by their rough surface and if you look at them at an angle, you will see lines that go up and down. These postcards had a high rag content which gave them their distinctive feel on top of a slightly embossed surface. They really don\'t contain Linen but one can say that there is rag in some cloths.

Shipping-

For $1.99, I will mail this postcard in a brand new archival soft sleeve in a sturdy photo mailer via USPS First Class Mail. For $5.99, I will mail it via USPS Ground Advantage which has some advantages over USPS First Class Mail. First, I upgrade you to a brand new BCW Semi-Rigid sleeve. It will be mailed in a larger rigid photo-mailer. Remember, a do not bend sticker on a First Class Mail Envelope is ignored and the postcard could go through several sorters, though most will never be damaged. Once an envelope is marked with USPS Ground Advantage, it will be treated like a parcel. They Do Not Bend sticker is honored. You can choose at checkout. I do combine shipping on up to three postcards. After that, it will be an additional $1.00 per postcard up to a max of 10. If my shipping is cheaper on my end once i package everything, I will refund you any difference over $1.00.

Shipping is free when you purchase 10 or more postcards.

This might take me a few tries to figure out since I just started selling single postcards with the Buy It Now feature recently. Don\'t worry, I will refund you any shipping overcharges!!!

I take my shipping seriously. If you have ever purchased from me in the past, you will know that. Paper goods and photos are sent completely surrounded by acid free archival quality papers and/or acid free PVC free Polypropylene bags and covers. This cost me well spent money. I also use a variety of recycled and new packaging including boxes and mailers. I try not to profit on my shipping. Please do not misinterpret my shipping charges. I take my time when packing anything anyone buys. I don\'t rush it, but at the same time, I don\'t overdue it. I hand select packaging materials that will not only protect the items value but will protect it during shipping. By placing a offer or buying it outright, you agree to any method I use to pack your item, new or used shipping material as I see fit.

What is the best thing about my packaging? They are easy to open! How many times have you received a package only to spend ten minutes trying to open it without destroying the contents!!! No extra tape, glue, staples, or my worst fear, items shoved between two pieces of cardboard with tape on every edge requiring a surgeon\'s scalpel to open it!!!

This is a new store for me but I have been on for over 27 years with perfect response.

I will be adding many more Zeppelin, Airship and Aviation related photos, postcards and a variety of relics over the next few days, weeks and months. Check back with me every week to see what I have added.

Please contact me first with any issues.

Thanks for looking!!!
