Buyer's premium:

A substantial collection of vintage paper ephemera, predominantly consisting of postcards, postage stamps, and envelopes, along with a small photo album and a larger dark blue binder. The items largely date from the early to mid-20th century, with visible dates and postmarks spanning from 1918 to at least 1968, strongly indicating a focus on Czechoslovakia (ČESKOSLOVENSKO). Notable markings include “XI. VŠESOKOLSKÝ SLET V PRAZE 1948” (XI. All-Sokol Slet in Prague 1948), “SVĚTOVÁ VÝSTAVA BRNO 1968” (World Exhibition Brno 1968), and “VZDUCHOVÁ POŠTA” (Air Mail). The collection references cities such as Prague (PRAGA), Brno, Bratislava, and Hradec Králové. It features a mix of photographic and illustrative styles, depicting landscapes, historical architecture, commemorative events, and figures. There are also a few items with English (“Winderemere”) and French text.
