Southampton, Isaac Watts’ Statue
We did some digging to find out where this statue is, and we think we got it right — the card doesn’t say. Not postally used, but very heavily handled over the years, and with a message taking up most of the reverse. Grade: 5

Code: 20516208
Price: $1.00
Drewsteignton, Fingle Bridge
Per Wikipedia, Fingle Bridge is a 17th-century stone arch bridge carrying an unclassified road over the River Teign, within Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Only the name of the bridge appears on the unused card. Grade: 1

Price: $3.00

Haddon Hall
We are grateful to Wikipedia for this more contemporary description: “Haddon Hall is an English country house on the River Wye at Bakewell, Derbyshire, one of the seats of the Duke of Rutland.” This may or may not have been the case when this old, unused card was published under sponsorship of Midland Railway of England. Grade: 1

Code: 20516216

Shakespeare’s Birthplace
… laying to rest once and for all the question of whether Shakespeare ever existed. Of course he did! Postcards don’t lie, especially this one from The Worcester Series, mailed in 1910 with stamp and full London postmark. For its age, very nice. Grade: 2

Code: 20516222
Price: $5.00
The London Eye
Hong Kong is supposed to be building one of these, too. Just what we need. The 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ card was mailed in 2013 with five different stamps, postmark, By Air Mail label, and orange postal barcoding. A very strong Grade: 2

Code: 20516223

It’s “No. 12 in a series of paintings featuring Towns and Cities with their famous football grounds.” Mailed in 2013 with two stamps, blue Royal Mail airmail sticker, faint postmark, and orange postal barcoding. Some postal bumping on the corners. Grade: 2

Code: 20516224
Price: $1.00

Concorde, British Airways, final flight
Mailed in 2014, with another stamp, and postmark, and Air Mail label, and orange postal barcoding, this card has a long and technical caption in the address area. We are calling this “Maximum Card Style” because clearly the stamp does not match the card. But as a postcard of Concorde, it’s very nice. Grade: 1

Code: 20516228

Code: 20516241
Price: $4.00
Gt. Yarmouth, Hospital for Decayed Fishermen
One of our favourite captions ever, even though the card itself is not in such great shape. Probably more than 100 years ago, someone pasted a US 1-cent stamp on it, and while there is a faintly scribbled address and message, we can’t tell if the card was actually mailed. Grade: 4

Code: 20516242
Price: $5.00

A card for many categories, mailed with stamp and indistinct postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20516245
Price: $0.50
Windermere, The Windermere Hydro

River Fal, King Harry Ferry
An extraordinarily large and aggressive postmark from Bath on this card mailed in 1975 with two different stamps and a bilingual airmail label. This is a nice example of a “local” English postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20516248
Price: $3.00

Code: 20516249
Price: $4.00
Guernsey, Fishermans Quay
We do sometimes feel guilty about lumping cards from different U.K. jurisdictions under “England” but don’t get upset with us. If we had more of these, we’d do things differently. Mailed from Guernsey in 2014, with a Guernsey stamp and faint postmark, as well as some orange postal barcoding on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20516250
