Dublin, Christ Church Cathedral
Dating back to 1172, but this unused John Hinde postcard 2/459 isn’t quite that old. Grade: 1
-
Renvyle, Connemara, Co. Galway – Thatched Cottage
An impressive caption on this unused John Hinde card 2/62 of an equally impressive scene. Grade: 1
-
Sneem, Co. Kerry (Rep. of Ireland)
Mailed in 1959, the card’s stamp and clear postmark are there, along with remnants of tape along the upper front edge. Grade: 3

Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, Co. Galway (Rep. of Ireland)
Though the original castle was built as late as 1868, Kylemore Abbey was founded in 1920 as a Benedictine Monastery on the same grounds, for Benedictine nuns who fled Belgium in World War 1. Today it continues its mission and also operates as one of Ireland’s leading visitor attractions. Unused older card. Grade: 1

-
Killarney, Torc Waterfall (Rep. of Ireland)
Unused “P.C.” Color Card No. 124 from Cahill & Co. It also has an unused 2p Irish stamp affixed, and we don’t consider that to be a flaw. Grade: 1
-
Killarney, Lake Hotel
On the shore of Loch Lein, the hotel seems still to be there and gets good online reviews. When you go, bring this card with you and maybe you can get a discount. Real-photo, mailed in 1951 with stamp and postmark. Nice. Grade: 1

Co. Clare, Poulnabrone Dolmen (Rep. of Ireland)
The caption calls this dolmen “one of the finest of its type to be found”, and we have no reason to doubt that. Can’t quite make out when this card was mailed, but it has a 45 bird stamp, Aerphost sticker, and heavy postmark. Grade: 1
