Here we have an attractive colour postcard picturing Annabella Terrace, Mallow, Co. Cork, Ireland. It shows a lot of detail of the fine terraced villas on the left. Note the horse and cart and lady on a bike. The card has some edge and corner wear and the stamp has been removed. It was published by Valentine's of Dublin and has the distinctive green harp logo on the back for this section of the firm. It is No 59144.

The card is address to Clogheenafishogue (I think), Cahir, Co Tipp, Ireland. It has a light but slightly cryptic family message.

A well-done card from a place that doesn't appear on cards as much as many similar-sized towns. I acquired on a recent trip to the States, saving the buyer hundreds in airfares.

Because eBay is now taking a 10 per cent commission on postage paid (in addition to PayPal's 4 per cent-plus), I have reluctantly had to increase my postage rates to cover the cost of postage and board-backed envelope. However I am not raising my domestic postage prices for small items despite the latest increase.

As I now have an eBay shop anyone who purchases one of my items might want to look there before paying. Additional postage is free for subsequent purchases unless they are too big for my normal very low basic rates. If you are buying more than one item please wait for me to send an invoice so I can combine postage.

When payment for lots won is received by teatime British time (it is usually dished up about 4:30) I normally post the item the next morning. Our village post office is closed on Saturdays, however, so if you pay on Friday the item will not go out until the following Monday.
