This most likely has some value, probably from $5.00 to $20.00 but more information is needed. Condition? Postally used? Is it a colour ‘litho’ or a black and white view that looks like a photograph? Manufacturer or publisher’s name? You can also go to a postcard auction site like EBay and put in ‘Ontario hotel postcard’ for example and see what other possibly similar cards are selling for.

My grandmother has a postcard from the Deerhurst “Hotel” (I think from around 1914). Can anyone tell me if there is an interest in this type of postcard? Thanks!

Hello,
I’m Harold Gilbert TPC # 1119 and I’m hoping that someone can help me. Most of my collection is stored in the 3 ring 8 1/2″ x 11″ post card holders. I’m hoping that someone can tell me where I can purchase these pages anymore? If anybody has any ideas please respond by email. haroldg@isp.ca

Thanks In Advance

I did a little more searching on the net and I found almost an exact match. They are slightly smaller (around a 1/8”). These guys have apparently added this size to line up within the last year or so. The website is http://www.bcwsupplies.com The product number is 1-PRO4T-100. They are priced around 25 cents apiece USD. For 2 day UPS to Canada was 23.00 USD. I hope that this can help somebody else as well.

I have come into an album of my grandfather’s. He was in the 10th Grenadiers, now the Royal Regiment. There are several postcards of the regiment and comments about the Bisley. I’m not sure what to do with them.

I have a postcard that I can’t identify. It is postmarked Barrie 1945 and looks to be a real photo. On the front left corner looks like Doanlea Beach or Poanlea beach. It was sent to an address in Stamford Ontario. I can’t find any information. I can email a scan of it to anyone that can help. Thanks,
