older.
Queen Victoria died in 1901, and cards with her postage stamps on them are very rare.

Liverpolitan, would you like to join "Old Liverpool"

(see below) and post your cards there, as well?
Thank you.

Thanks for the info - I have a few that are written on at the front ,which

did look older, so that 1902 date makes a lot of sense. I'll find out how to join your group, that looks great - I've got quite a few old cards now, some I



am really fond of.
