Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Especially the ones from the beginning of the last century picturing Cairo, preferably b/w? If you do send me a pm ....... we might get into business. Thanks!
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Please have a look at couple of items I own so far; my collection is steadily growing..... Aren't they beautiful?
hibbah Member # 12156	posted wow, those really are beautiful. alot of them look like scenes from pakistan!
DawnBev Member # 11276	posted I love those!
sheba76 Member # 12165	posted Beautiful
sheba76 Member # 12165	posted Part of the beauty of Egypt I think, is the way some of those could have been pics from last week. That harmony of ancient, old, modern.
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Exactly, Sheba, it looks like modernization didn't take completely over..... many things stayed the same.
habibah Member # 12236	posted Do you sell them or just collect? they are beautiful!
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Hi, great that you like them! I do too! And no I am not a trader I collect because of interest and fun. Right now I own approximately 400 original postcards (no reproductions!) and finding interesting motives gets harder. Most of these vintage pcs I have were published by the Cairo Postcard Trust. They mean so much to me and are well treasured. Start collecting yourself; you won't regret it!
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Some more precious pics, enjoy!

Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted Hey, are you collecting too? I just received mail from Minnesota (no not from Sono! ). The postcard is good 100 years old and shows the famous Shepheard's Hotel:
