I thought I would start a forum just for Bulova postal cards. These are the cards either from jewelers or from Bulova that would be sent to customers that the service was completed for their watch. Thanks for indulging me. Here is number one. This is a 1930 Bulova Watch service card.

Hello
First time posting here, but I have been following this section for a couple of years. My name is Mike Sagar and I am primarily a collector of Canadian postal stationery including Canadian Bulova ad cards. I am the secretary for the British North America Philatelic Society (BNAPS) - Postal Stationery Study Group (PSSG) and have updated the group's 1999 listing of the known Bulova postal stationery ads from Canada. A working draft of almost 200 different listings is now up at: http://www.mooncancels.com/bulova.pdf I would love to hear more reports about Canadian cards. Contact information is all in the document.
I also collect American Bulova ads too - my collection probably numbers over 250 different, which is probably a drop in the bucket about what is out there. If the Canadian project goes well, I am contemplating a similar list of American cards.
Thank you
Mike

Thank you for posting on our forum and what great work you have done on the Bulova cards. We should, with your permission, link to your site in our Watch Links section. BTW I have been pulling most of these images off line and do not actually own but just a few cards. I did check and do not have any Canadian cards. As for your advertisements, I would LOVE to see what you have. As you can see we have hundreds of them and wonder what you have in your collection that we do not have in ours. These advertisements have been essential in our efforts to ID Unknown watches since many of the early records of Bulova no longer exist. Feel free to PM me and we can connect.

I pulled this out of it. This forum is focused on postal cards. I did not see any other cards.

I sent the ebay auction to Alex and he snagged it for his book. I believe this is the first rendition of this particular logo we have seen. Thanks for posting.
