    Description

    These are two, neat, 1-Penny, GB postal stationery cards(in very good-fine condition!) used abroad in Constantinople, Turkey! The orange, Victoria-era card was sent on December 29, 1892(an awesome, SOTN, B.P.O. in Constantinople CDS!), to a fellow German speaker then living in London, England! The red, Edward VII-era card was sent to Athens, Greece, on August 2, 1905(two, pretty nice strikes of the B.P.O. in Constantinople CDS)! The messages on both cards appear to be business-oriented.
