I'm not much of an authority on Victorian art but those "naughty" old seaside postcards that went for tuppence or so must be worth a considerable amount today for anyone with a sizeable collection

Bamforth from Holmfirth in West Yorks was the number-one purveyor of those cards. Here are some examples:

Thanks Nutmegger ! Used to love the "What the Butler saw" machines as well.
A neighbor of mine who collects antiques is looking for such a machine to add to his Victorian barrel organ and piano collection
