Great Scarce Collection of Invitation Cards to play for/against or to referee Rugby Teams etc (75): Beautifully curated, in transparent sleeves, all in VG condition though many postally used, & from the 1890s to the 1960s, the once-familiar postcards inviting players, members, referees etc to play, participate or attend. So evocative, a real glimpse of sporting, social, handwriting and postal history over 60 years or more, from days when you could rely on the post and your 'answer by return' to get there! English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, French, S African and Australian teams included, with many pre WW2 and some pre WW1. To include an invite to Eddie Watkins to play for Wales, 1936 and two 'mourning' cards, one rubbing in the 1909 defeat of Gloucester by Cornwall, & one other. Super!
