Singapore and Malaya Postcards. Approximately 300 postcards of Singapore, Malaya and Hong Kong, mixed eras, many of coconut/rubber plantations, as well as fishing villages and the jungle, together with a quantity of modern cards (1970s-2000s) and other ephemera relating to Malaya, Hong Kong and Singapore, such as newspapers, brochures, maps etc.
Sold for £300

Many are postally used with cancelled stamps/postmarks (I have added some images of examples of these). The majority of the earlier cards are showing some wear, including creased and chipped corners, other edge wear, discolouration, etc. A handful of cards with more serious defects, including folds, heavy creasing and one with water damage (see extra images). The modern cards are in better condition but mainly postally used.
