HARRY RAMSDEN’S

BEST FISH AND CHIPS IN GREAT YARMOUTH

Published as a promotional postcard for

HARRY RAMSDEN

By

BAMFORTH AND COMPANY LTD, 2013

Ref: HR-007

Last year the Harry Ramsden’s ‘fish and chip’ shop(s) were giving away free (I think, they might have been sold as souvenirs, but I need more information to be sure) advertising postcards using seaside saucy postcard like images. I believe there were a few different design’s, but I only managed to obtain this one.

I would like to hear from anyone who has details of other cards in this series.

Not too much to say about this one really. The card itself is a little larger than the normal modern size, but not greatly. Pinocchio is of course famous and popular outside of the Disney interpretation of the story and it is nice to find a postcard related image which is far from the Disney look.

“WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE BIT BEFORE SUPPER?”

By

LE RAY (?)

Published by

SEA LION PUBLISHERS LTD, SOUTHEND

It has been a bad couple of days in our household with the sad news of the death of a very close family member, so we, like many people, could do with a little humour.

I bought this postcard originally because of the depiction of a TV set, which as you will have surmised is my main collecting theme. When it arrived I received the added bonus that this postcard was published by a company based here in my home town, one I was unaware of which goes to show that no matter how much you may think you know there is always something new to learn about postcard collecting, which I think is one of my favourite aspects of the hobby.

REVERSE SIDE OF ABOVE POSTCARD

Some mad crazed stamp collector has removed the stamp from this card, or possibly it was not applied properly, and it got pulled off in the post. The damage though is minimal, and we can still see that this card was posted from another seaside town, Walton-on-the-Naze (my hometown of Southend is also a seaside town) and has been cancelled the 20th June 1960.

I do love the publishers logo, simple but also attractive.

JAMES BOND

Maxi-Cards

PART SEVEN

I hoping you have not yet got too bored of these James Bond maxi-cards I have produced. Normally I would not post so many similar themed postcards, but a lot of work went into making these and I think they have turned out ‘really’ well.  

JAPANESE POSTER FOR

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)

Home Made Maxi-Card

Postcard from the

JAMES BOND 100 POSTCARDS

Boxed set

I have always liked this film poster and I thought it went well here with the Sean Connery stamp even though the stamp names a different film.

JAPANESE POSTER FOR

OCTOPUSSY (1983)

Home Made Maxi-Card

Postcard from the

JAMES BOND 100 POSTCARDS

Boxed set

I often controversially admit that Roger Moore is my favourite James Bond even though one of his films is at the bottom of my all-time favourite bond listing (Moonraker is my least favourite Bond film. I still enjoy it, but it ranks low against other Bond films – to counter that my top three Bond movies are all Roger Moore ones). Despite the totally ridiculous name of this film it is one I really enjoy.

US POSTER FOR

LICENCE TO KILL (1989)

Home Made Maxi-Card

Postcard from the

JAMES BOND 100 POSTCARDS

Boxed set

Without any doubt, in my mind at least, this was the most violent of the Bond movies. Having said that I also think it was totally right for its time and when I saw it at the cinema, I came away really impressed and I enjoyed it enormously. I still think it holds up well.

US POSTER FOR

GOLDENEYE (1995)

Home Made Maxi-Card

Postcard from the

JAMES BOND 100 POSTCARDS

Boxed set

After Timothy Dalton’s short two movie stint, and a very long gap of six years, something was needed to bring Bond back with a bang. I believe their choice of Pierce Brosnan was inspired. As much as I believe that Dalton played Bond exactly right for that era, I also believe Brosnan had it nailed for the 1990’s.

REVERSE SIDE OF ABOVE TWO POSTCARDS

I was fortunate on a few occasions to meet the artist Richard Blake and as a result I have a variety of postcards which have been signed by him. Artists have nearly always been happy to sign copies of their postcards placed before them at postcard fairs (in the good old days when artists used to attend such events). Richard was kind enough to sign both copies of this card.

Also, you can clearly see here the difference in card sizes as the two cards are overlaid.

EAST SIDE GALLERY – THE BERLIN WALL

Published by

SCHIKKUS

Ref: Berlin 7997

We visited Berlin twice last year, but only got to visit the East Side Gallery on the second visit. This is a long section of the Berlin wall which has remained standing and on which artists have a painted a variety of large paintings or murals. This area has become a major tourist attraction with people having their photographs taken standing beside or in front of some of the now famous images. There are a couple which are far better known than others and you can tell these ones by the queues of people gathered around them. This one here, which shows an East German Trabant automobile, as produced by the East German car manufacturer VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke Zwickau between 1957 and 1990, breaking through the wall is one of these popular well-known paintings. The popular ones are also the ones which appear on the postcards, which are sold all over Berlin and not just at the East Side Gallery.

EAST SIDE GALLERY – THE BERLIN WALL

Published by

SCHIKKUS

Ref: Berlin 8952

If anyone was to wonder which is the most famous of the East Side Gallery images, and which one has by far the longest queues, then without any doubt it would be this one. It is also the one which appears on the most postcards as well. The painting depicts the Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev and Eric Honecker in a socialist fraternal kiss. The image reproduces a famous photograph taken in 1979 during the 30^th anniversary celebration of the foundation of the German Democratic Republic.

This is a later piece of graffiti which incorporates the famous kiss piece with the Trabant automobile image. I get the impression that this one is making a bit of a mockery of the originals, or perhaps it is acknowledging the peoples fight in the DDR (East Germany) for unification and how the graffiti shows this.

LENTICULAR (MOVING IMAGE) POSTCARD

Photographer

JON ORTNER (2014)

Published by the

9/11 MEMORIAL MUSEUM  

This lovely postcard, which this scan does not do justice to, moves from day to night as you tilt it. It shows one of the tower monuments outside of the museum. I love novelty postcard so had to have this one.

If you go to our facebook page I have posted a short film showing the card and its changes as it is tilted.

REVERSE SIDE OF ABOVE POSTCARD

I don’t think $4 is a bad price for a card of this quality, but it does go to show that contrary to many old collector’s opinions the collecting of modern postcards is not always the cheaper option.

What a lovely postcard and yet another one that I bought on my trip across the US back in 2018 (from an antiques/collectors shop). I don’t even have to write much about the origins of the building as it has a superb write up on the reverse side of the card itself (see below). I do like the bit at the end that tells us that ‘Over 7,000,000 Postal cards have been turned out in one day’. I would have loved to have seen that happening.

REVERSE SIDE OF ABOVE POSTCARD

I do love a postcard that gives you lots of information about what you are seeing on the card. This one has a great write up.

REVERSE SIDES OF ABOVE TWO POSTCARDS

(TOP – The Left side postcard)

This art postcard was posted from Eastbourne in 1921. If you visited the ‘Watch Tower at Beachy Head’ you could have a cachet applied to your postcard. Much like the Land’s End cachets these changed over time.

The cachet applied here is referenced as 24/5 in the 8^th edition of the ‘Collect British Postmarks’ (Stanley Gibbons publication) and is valued at £5. The cachet was applied from 1921, so my card here was used in the first year of this cachet usage.

(BOTTOM – The Right side postcard)

This photographic postcard has a later used WATCH TOWER – BEACHY HEAD cachet, one which was first used from 1930. This one is referenced as 24/6 in the 8^th edition of the ‘Collect British Postmarks’ (Stanley Gibbons publication). This one is worth a pound more at £6. Interestingly the above reverse side has a cachet applied in black which can also be found in purple, whilst this card has a cachet applied in purple which can also be found applied in black.

Cachets like these ‘definitely’ add value to a postcard, but I also think they add a lot of extra interest as well.

THE LONGSHIPS LIGHTHOUSE

Published by

F. FRITH & Co., Ltd, Reigate

Ref: 31809(?) [not sure what the last digit is – it may even by an ‘F’]

The Longships Lighthouse is still active today, although its general look has obviously changed at the top with new modernisations. The first lighthouse here was built in 1795, the current lighthouse was built in 1873 (and went fully automated in 1988). The initial lighthouse was made redundant because of its lower height which meant that high seas could obscure it. The building of the lighthouse depicted here commenced in 1869.

Lighthouses have always been a popular postcard theme and any seaside town or coastal location anywhere near a lighthouse had images of it on sale. The Longships Lighthouse is about 1.25 miles off the coast of Land’s End in Cornwall, so images of it have been sold at the gift shop at Land’s End, where this one was bought.

REVERSE SIDE OF ABOVE POSTCARD

The reason why I knew this card had been acquired at Land’s End is because the buyer had the cachet applied to the card, the purple triangular ‘LAND’S END’ one. In my 8^th edition of the ‘Collect British Postmarks’ (Stanley Gibbons publication) this cachet is pictured and given the reference 24/95. This excellent book also tells me it was in use between 1901 and 1978 and catalogues its value at £2 (I think its probably a little lower). As those who visit the webpage with any regularity will know, I do like my cachets.

TRINIDAD

 PENNY HALFPENNY POSTAL STATIONERY POST CARD

Section 2

Trinidad - Page 1

Reference No: 4

Issued: 1884

Trinidad commenced issuing postal stationery post cards in 1879, but the original cards required a stamp to be applied, they did not have a pre-printed stamp. It was only the postal card issued immediately before this one here that had a pre-printed stamp. This card here was issued alongside a Half Penny, a One Penny and a Two Penny valued issues in the same basic format, with some minor text differences related to the areas that the postage covered cost to (although, also, the Half Penny did not have the (TRINITE) section of the top text block).

This is another extremely cheap postal stationery post card, one that can be picked up for less that £1, unless postally used.

JAMES BOND

Maxi-Cards

PART SIX

When Royal Mail issued their James Bond stamp set last month I decided to buy some of these stamps and stick them on some related postcards to be sent off for special hand stamps. I used postcards from the special JAMES BOND 100 postcards box set. Here are a few more that recently were returned to me, and over the past three days I have had quite a few returned (23 in fact – I shall have to spread these over a few days!!) I shall do a few here which are the same card but with either different cancels or even different cancels and stamps.

(Text from reverse side of Postcard)

Today is ‘Anzac Day’ and normally I would dig out a related postcard which depicts a soldier from either Australia or New Zealand, but most of my cards are still in storage and travel is limited in these unusual times. So, I have looked through my already scanned images and found this period card from WW1, although from the UK, but at least the British Empire is mentioned.

I bought this set of stamp cards at the Autumn 2018 Stampex show in London. I thought the stamp set was nice and was delighted to find that Jersey Post had issued a set of postcards depicting the stamp images. This stamp card set was also far cheaper than buying the individual stamps and the £3 stamp sheet that was also issued and which also has its own postcard here in this set.

The postcards are not individually titled, so I have taken the text that appears on each stamp as a title, and they do not have any individual reference numbers.

I thought the artwork on these designs was superb and anyone interested in the Frankenstein story, or who collects Horror themed postcards would love this set,

Section 7

Reference No: 292

(Michel Reference - Mi P 299)

I have mentioned before the dilemma of collecting philatelic items which were issued by the Nazi’s, before and during world war II. I have chosen to collect these because of my interest in military history, and the postal systems and issues of all countries involved in the conflict are of interest to me. It should also be noted that Third Reich material has always been collectible, by all types of people and with the vast majority, by far, collecting because of an interest in the items and not because of any following or like for the Nazi politics or beliefs. There will always be the odd one or two exceptions to the rule, but I have a wide range of friends both at club level and through social media who collect Third Reich philately, and I have yet to meet a collector of this stuff who in anyway, shape or form is a follower of that type of politics.

These postal stationery post cards are common and should not cost a collector more than a few pounds (between £1 and £4 depending on the issue), this one here probably only £1.

There is to be a special comedy fund raiser being shown on BBC 1 tonight. My issue of ‘Radio Times’ magazine informs me that it is a joint effort between the people behind the bi-annual ‘COMIC RELIEF’ and the annual ‘CHILDREN IN NEED’ charities.

This special is to pay tribute to those on the front-line fighting Corvid 19 (the coronavirus) and allow the charities to raise money for the vulnerable people across the country who are being affected by this pandemic and the lockdown.

So, to keep the webpage relevant today I post both a Comic Relief card and a Children in Need postcard.
