1920s RPPC St. Moritz Switzerland Skiing Ober-Alpina, Skiers Swiss Alps Postcard

Description

View 1920s RPPC St. Moritz Switzerland Skiing Ober-Alpina, Skiers Swiss Alps Postcard with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Condition: Card has small diagonal creases in two corners (upper right and lower left). Wonderful real photo postcard by the famous alpine landscape photographers the Wehrli Brothers (Bruno, Harry, and Artur). This image shows skiers and a couple with a sled ascending the slopes at Ober-Alpina, a hamlet located just above the main village of St. Moritz Switzerland. The postcard was posted to the USA but the postmark date is illegible. I have narrowed down its age based on the 20 rappen red William Tell Helvetia postage stamp, which was in use from 1924 to 1930.   Condition: Card has small diagonal creases in two corners (upper right and lower left). There is slight edge wear and minor corner bumps as well. The postmark on the back from the destination town was struck with some force, resulting in a raised circular impression on the front upper left area. Condition: Used.
