This is what akpool stands for
100 % original
We offer only original picture postcards that were produced between 1890 and 1945 by printers, artists and photographers and often travelled halfway around the world. Each card is unique and is individually examined, evaluated and categorised by us. This enables us to offer our customers the right products in the right quality.
Customer-oriented
Your passion is our passion. We always orient our offers and service to the wishes of our collectors. To achieve this, we are in continuous exchange with our customers, design surveys, discuss in blogs or provide the praise & criticism wall. In the meantime, more than 1,000,000 old postcards are for sale online. More than 400,000 old postcards are sold every year.
Responsible
Due to their nostalgic paper characteristics, historic postcards require special care and attention. We send all cards in a double protection (foil and sturdy folding cardboard). When choosing packaging materials, we always try to use environmentally friendly materials.
Safe and uncomplicated
You can enjoy peace of mind and security on our pages. Our security team uses a wide range of tools every day to protect the akpool pages and thus to protect your data . Encrypted protocols (https) are automatically switched for the purchasing process. You can also make your payment securely and easily with PayPal.
History in a different way!
We have it, the history of past times in pictures and writings. Our originals are contemporary documents which, due to their good, old paper and print quality as well as handicraft techniques, are downright tempting to collect and give away. Are your relatives interested in local history or genealogy? Are your friends interested in the history of technology or old railways? Then you have come to the right place. We have the next extraordinary gift for your relatives.
Have fun collecting! Your akpool-team
