Not a reproduction, this is a genuine 1960's scenic postcard pack of Lakes Entrance, Victoria
Amazing old colourised photographs of scenic views and points of interest around Lakes Entrance.
This is NOT a reproduction of an original postcard pack but the real deal, around 60 years old!
BULMERS - Postcard Pack
Circa 1960's
Lakes Entrance In Color No 1
Produced by Bulmers, Lakes Entrance
Bulmers was a souvenir shop in Lakes Entrance
Note the incorrect UK English spelling in the title of the postcard pack "Color"
Colour photography - some of the plates are a bit blurry looking though!
Release date unknown but likely to have been in the very early 1960's, these photographs focus on the scenery with very little by way of motor vehicles or people so it is a little hard to judge the time period.

This postcard pack has quite a "sterile" look to it, meaning there is not much in the way of motor vehicles, people or animals in the photographs.
COSMETIC CONDITION:
Clean throughout
All seams/folds are sound with no splitting
There is a small tear to the rear "tongue"
No writing on the postcard pack at all.
All photographs are clean although the colouring is a bit odd looking, predominantly blue/green/brown and shades of. Not sure if this was due to the photography of the day or limitations in printing technology. To be frank, the photography is nothing to crow about, it even looks a little out of focus!
Today I have sealed this postcard pack in plastic to preserve the current condition and now it has been put away in a dark place to reduce any possibility of fading due to strong day/sunlight.
