Item:172586857676Nestle's Swiss Milk, c1902, Bluejackets, Royal Navy. Advertising Postcard (3054). An original printed advertising postcard for "Nestle's Swiss Milk". This variation shows Bluejackets of HM Royal Navy hauling a field gun. The card was posted and bears a Leytonstone postmark for April 1906 . This postcard was published c1902 and features an undivided back. I believe Nestle's Swiss Milk was a form of tinned condensed milk. This is one of a military-themed set of promotional postcards promoting Nestle's Swiss Milk. Other variations I am aware of show the '2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays)' and 'Infantry of the Line'. Cards in this advertising series are pretty hard-to-find and examples in good condition are sought after. Message on front reads "I shall be there, come early" and the card is addressed to a Mrs Harding of 111 Elgin Road, Seven Kings in Essex. Condition Rated: "Good (G)" ('Noticeable defects, handling and wear apparent. Slight creasing and minor postal damage not detrimental to image acceptable in this category.') using the PTA Grading System . Additional information: a generally clean and unmarked printed image, some age fading to brown, some light surface scuffs etc commensurate with age and handling, a soft 40mm stress crease down right edge, faint album impressions across corners, reasonable corners with minor wear to points, the upper corners also have some light bruising, the back is generally neat and clean. I have priced accordingly.
