unsuccessful bid

Bid for this 1920s used postcard of SS.Hebrides with John McCallum's advert plus steamer on front and oval company cachet on rear. Why? firstly, this would be a nice addition to my long acquired collection of posted Scottish ship cards, secondly, this company merged with Martin Orme in 1929 and in 1948 McCallum & Orme's fleet was taken over by David MacBrayne, Ltd. The ship was built by Ailsa of Troon in 1898 and was scrapped in 1955 after a long career carrying cargo and passengers from Glasgow to many West Highland ports and even as far as St. Kilda before its evacuation in 1930s.
I do own some cards of her in MacBrayne ownership but this would have been a nice earlier addition.
