This stylish old postcard is thought to show Maldon's Main St. in about 1910. (At least, that's what the Melbourne-based 2nd hand dealer who had it for sale said.)

Unfortunately, such estimates are not always reliable. This same seller "estimated" the date of a postcard showing the Mt. Tarrangower tower as 1913, which is 11 years before the tower was erected.

Old photo postcards such as this are eagerly sought after by collectors. The one reproduced here changed hands recently for $138.40
