           POSTCARDS, continued
  **        Tuck's Oilettes; the following section of 18 lots is the latter part of one very extensive
               collection, the first section of which was sold in our August auction (only some of the subject
               cards have still to come to us). These were collected assiduously over many years, and some
               cards though quite unassuming are actually quite scarce.
              The collection is arranged in albums according to series number. In the first 14 lots, each
               card appears to have been mounted by the use of four double-sided self-adhesive tabs on the
               back. This has left problems in the removal of cards from pages. We have tried several; some
               tabs detach easily and cleanly (leaving little or no trace), some seem to be stuck solidly and
               immovably, but most are between these extremes (coming off with care, and often taking
               some of the surface off the card's reverse, to a greater or lesser extent). If viewing these lots,
               please do not carry out your own experiments !  We will be happy to explain and demonstrate.
              Descriptions give the volume numbers, range of series numbers covered, approximate
               number of cards, and sometimes some interesting contents.
