St. Simons Island Lighthouse

St. Simons Island Lighthouse

Linen Curteich-Chicago card mailed in 1961 with stamp and postmark to the Oregon State Highway Department, asking for a map of “your state and other surrounding states.”  We wonder what journey this card made to wind up with us?  Among lighthouse “firsts,” “The first Government lighthousewas built on this spot in 1808,” though not this particular structure.  A little postmark ink transfer on the front.  Grade: 2
