We'd appreciate any input that you might have, or any addditions/corrections. We could even add your 'earliest postmark' information to the list if you care to share it. Thanks for your contribution.

We’ve recently revamped our Valentine list on this site to make it easier to sort and use. We’d appreciate any input that you might have, or any addditions/corrections. We could even add your ‘earliest postmark’ information to the list if you care to share it.

Thanks for your contribution.

Your card would have been issued c.1912-1914, although the actual view may be earlier. Dear Mr. Brown,

Peter, 748 Yonge Street Toronto. Does anyone have a used postcard bearing this name which has a cancellation date ? It is a RPPC and likely about 1910-1930.

I collect Valentine and Sons exclusively, and the actual picture tells a lot as to date. I might be able to help you if I could see the card. Do you have a jpeg of the card?

I did some Googling and the two links below have a fairly good biography of the company. I also Googled Corby Park and learned that it was established in 1905. This fact, along with the knowledge that Valentine's was in it's prime in the early 1900's would suggest that your postcard is from this era. The view on the card should also provide you with a time line. In this respect, perhaps the local Historical Society in Belleville could help you with your question. Failing that, come to our Annual Postcard Show February 17th, 2008 at the Humber College Campus. (more info on our web site closer to the time) You'll find many knowledgeable collectors and dealers there and possibly another of these cards that's been postally used that would verify the publication date more narrowly. http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/news/03021901.html http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/tourism/pcards/valtine.htm Thanks for your interest in the Toronto Postcard Club.
