REAL PHOTO CARDS BY VON BIBRA

[Ross Ewington]

Every now and again I come across real photo cards from c.1950 attributed to a "Von Bibra" ... I have seen mainly views of Ulverstone and at least one of Latrobe.

I am interested to see if we can create a listing of these numbered card and find out who "Von Bibra" he/she was.

There was a M.D. Dudley Von Bibra operating a service station in Ulverstone at the time ...was it him or a relative?

If you have any cards by this publisher please post below and I will create a list in this first post. To start, I have one card to hand and found another in the TAHO collection.

Can add 4 more Von Bibra real photograph cards. The only Von Bibra I know off is the service station operator in Reibey Street (the main street). According to the Centenary Celebration book 1852 - 1952, Von Bibra had service stations at both ends off Reibey. I remember the service station at the river end. Also remember son Warren, selling surfboards at the garage c1968. Postcards, who knows! There are no dates on my cards.
