My name is Lars-Olov Stenborg. One of my hobbies is collecting old
postcards. Below you will find some of the "best" cards from my
collection. Mostly I collect cards from my hometown Karlskrona in Sweden and I
have about 3 500 cards (1895-1995) from this small part of Sweden. But I also
collect old postcards with interesting views from all the world. This is just
some of them and I hope you will enjoy looking at them. If you want to see a
bigger picture. Just klick on the card or the text.
I am interested in all Swedish postcards 1890-1960 and in exchange I can
give cards from all the World, both old and modern. Approximately I have at
least 10 000 cards donīt belonging in my own collection. If you have Swedish
cards to trade, please send a mail to stenborg@algonet.se
