501139 Gantry Crane in Mitsu Bishi Shipyard, Nagasaki Boat / Ship / Steamer postcard titled: Gantry Crane in Mitsu Bishi Shipyard, Nagasaki with Chinese symbols below it / back has more symbols which could be the publisher / nothing written on card

The majority of collectors are interested in the view that is on the card, and not the actual condition. Therefore, to save time this isn't detailed, but the pictures should speak for themselves.

Pix have been taken with the card inside a plastic sleeve, with our item number on the sticker - and not on the card. The plastic may have distorted the image just a little or there may be shadowing which looks like punch holes.

If condition is important to you ask and we will send an email version directly - for your review.
