Upcycled Postcard.

 The introduction of Indian post card is equivalent to the mobile phones of today, and due to affordability, the use of Indian post card boomed. On July 1, 1879, first Indian post card was released with an imprinted stamp, featuring a side view of Queen Victoria. 
A postcard which is sold for 50 paisa actually costs the government Rs 7, according to an RTI response from the postal department listing the costs incurred by it on such services which are proving to be loss-making propositions for it as per Report dated 19.6 2014.
However I received the following UP CYCLED Postcard for whish I had to pay DUE of Rs 9/.I was happy to lessen the burden by Rs 2/to the Govt.
UPCYCLED POSTCARD-
 UpcycleThat.com defines this way: “The act of taking something no  longer in use and giving it a second life and new function.
 In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical,  valuable and beautiful than what it previously was.”

             Thank you Heena for the new variety of Postcard for my collection.

Postcard from North Cyprus.

Salamis is an ancient Greek city-state on the east coast of Cyprus, at the mouth of the river Pedieos, six km north of modern Famagusta. According to tradition, the founder of Salamis was Teucer, son of Telamon, king of the Greek island of Salamis ,who could not return home after the Trojan war because he had failed to avenge his brother Ajax.

Northern Cyprus, officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC; Turkish: Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti, KKTC), is a de facto state that comprises the north eastern portion of the island of Cyprus.Recognised only by Turkey, Northern Cyprus is considered by all other states to be part of the Republic of Cyprus.

No nation other than Turkey has officially recognised Northern Cyprus as a sovereign state. The United Nations recognises it as territory of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish occupation.

Thank you Corrie Bolton for the beautiful and rare country postcard to collect.

POSTCARD FROM USA(COPPER METAL POST CARD)








Jerome,Arizona USA was built on Cleopatra Hill above a vast deposit of copper mine.
With Jerome’s economy completely dependent upon the demand for copper,it was home to more than 10,000 people in the 1920s. As the ore deposits ran out, the mines closed. Phelps Dodge Mine was closed in 1953. The remaining population of around 50 to 100 people promoted the town as a historic ghost town.Today Jerome is a thriving tourist and artist hub with a population of around 450 people.
On the copper card is the Central Hotel Corner of lower main street.
This scene is provided by the Copper Shop on upper main street.
