Boise, state capitol
From the 1960s, an unused Mike Roberts card NCI-8 (also C17681) whose caption describes this large building as being “in the downtown section of the city” of Boise. The photo hides that particular fact very well. Card is aging significantly on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10113001
Price: $3.50

Code: 10113002
Price: $1.00

Interesting to compare the view on this card with that of the previous one (10113002) maybe 15 years earlier. This one is unused from the 1960s. Grade: 1

Code: 10113003
Price: $2.00
Shoshone Indian Ice Caves

Code: 10113004

To explain, “The Seven Devils are seven serrated peaks standing in a semi-circle and reaching thousands of feet into the sky above the canyon of the Snake River.” We could tell you much more, but we’d like you to read about our cards instead. Unused Northwest Curio card S-1563-7. Grade: 2

An Idaho Potato
This happens often with generic postcards. Compare this card with our own entry 10120042 (from Maine) and you will see it is the same picture but the reverse caption just mentions a different state. That toy tractor must have travelled very fast. Anyway, we have three of these “Idaho Potato” cards available. Two are unused and slightly stained on the reverse (Grades: 3, $0.50) and one was mailed in 1956 with stamp and partial postmark and water stain on the reverse (Grade: 3, $0.50).

Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10113017
Price: $1.00
Lewiston, El Rancho Motel
In a society where every raindop gets an online review, we thought we would see how this motel is doing. If you were to go to Google and search, you would come out of it wondering if they are still in business or not. Thoroughly confusing, but, either way, the card is here. Unused, but heavily creased and some staining on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 10113018

Boise, Natatorium
Believe it or not, the facility (now “Natatorium Pool & Hydrotube”) is still there, though the structure you see here burned down long ago. Very old, undivided back postcard, stamp and (indistinct) postmarks are there, front and back. Grade: 2

Code: 10113020
Price: $5.00
