Vintage Stamp Card Appraisal

Vintage Latvian Stamp Souvenir Card

This item is an antique souvenir stamp card titled 'Lettonie' (Latvia in French) featuring three distinct postage stamps affixed to a cream-colored rectangular card stock. The card bears the printed text 'La carte' on the top left, 'Garantis Authentiques' (Guaranteed Authentic) on the top right, and a price marking of '2 fr.' (2 francs). The three stamps include a red-tinted stamp on the left, a grey/black stamp in the center, and a yellow-orange stamp on the right. All three stamps appear to be cancelled with black ink postmarks; the leftmost stamp displays a visible date of '12 XI 31' (November 12, 1931), which provides a strong indicator of the item's age from the interwar period of the First Republic of Latvia. The stamps feature intricate engravings including the Latvian coat of arms and sun motifs typical of early 20th-century Baltic philately. The card itself shows signs of aging, including yellowing/toning of the paper and minor edge wear. The printing is in a stylized black typeface, common for European collectibles of the 1930s. The condition overall appears fair to good for its age, without major tears or deep staining, though some surface grime and light foxing may be present on the card substrate.
