Price: $2.00
Geneva, Hotel du Rhone
Card is from 2001, but mailed from Hong Kong–not Switzerland–with two stamps and mostly legible postmark. It also has a USA postal barcode at the bottom reverse, and a bit of water damage. (NOTE: If you’re interested in this card, ask us to verify it first.)Grade: 4

Code: 20552007
Price: $1.00

Code: 20552008
Price: $3.50
Wallis, Saas-Fee
It’s a good idea to label the horizon as they’ve done. The card was mailed in 1970, so the view is probably about the same, unless there’s less snow? Two stamps, mostly legible postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20552009
Price: $4.00
Burgenstock
Unused but aging card from this exclusive resort area. Grade: 2

Code: 20552013
Price: $2.00
Zurich und die Alpen
Mailed in October, 1947 with stamp and full postmark, the card was forwarded from one Australian address to another … and there’s an inked notation that it was answered in December, 1948. If that’s true, then there’s hope for all of us who are patiently waiting for answers to all of life’s questions. Grade: 3

Code: 20552014

Lausanne, from the Signal Woods, winter
Mailed in 1904 from England with stamp and full postmark, the painting from which this card takes its picture was painted by Baness, and the card is part of “The ‘Artist’ Series”. Extraordinarily clear for the age. Grade: 3

Code: 20552025
Price: $26.00
Push-Pull Train
Mailed in 2011, the postmark is crystal clear on the front of the card but the two stamps on the reverse were cancelled only by orange postal barcoding. Owing to the card’s generally great condition, we are bending our grading standards and calling it Grade: 2

Code: 20552026
Price: $6.00
Greetings and mountains
Iconic Swiss, mailed in 2011 with two stamps (one of which would virtually knock your eyes out if you stared at it) and full but faint postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20552027

Code: 20552033
Price: $1.00
Rochers-de-Naye steam train
Possibly a souvenir ticket pressed into service as a postcard also, this ~4-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ item has a serial number on the back and a tiny oval hole punched through–like a ticket. Issued in Switzerland, the card was however mailed in the USA with three stamps and Houston postmark. Grade (we think): 3

Code: 20552034
Price: $5.00
Zentralbahn bei Engelberg mit Hahnen 2606 m
Mailed from Indonesia (definitely not Switzerland!) in 2012, with two stamps and very faint postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20552035
Price: $3.00
Brienzer-Rothornbahn
Long (4-1/4″ x 8-1/4″) card posted in 2012 with two stamps and a beautiful large postmark. Extensive message and captioning give full information. Alas, orange postal barcoding across the front. Grade: 2

Code: 20552036
Price: $3.00
Swiss Federal Railways, Diesel-electric locomotive Bm 4/4 II 18451
The German caption is a little more detailed than the French or English ones. The card, though, was mailed from Spain (not Switzerland!) in 2012 with two different stamps but illegible postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20552037
Price: $4.00
Berner Oberland, Jungfrau
This 4-1/8″ x 8-1/4″ card was mailed in 2012 with stamp and postmark. Because of the size, some postal bumping along the way–a sign of character. Grade: 2

Code: 20552038
Price: $3.00
Interlaken, Jungfrau
We think this B&W real photo card was mailed in 1955. It’s a full Matterhorn postmark but the stamp (also of a mountain and gondola) partly obscures the date. Serrated edges. Purple “Luftpost” and “Par Avion” chop. Grade: 2

Code: 20552039
Price: $5.00
Geneve, Vue generale
Mailed in 1959 with two different stamps, postmark, and blue trilingual Luftpost sticker. Serrated edges. Grade: 2

Code: 20552040
Price: $3.00
Zermatt, Findeln u. Matterhorn
Here’s the story: this card has two stamps and a Matterhorn postmark (and abrasions and adjustments on both sides) and was mailed from Switzerland to the Belgian Congo, where another large postmark was appended and the card was forwarded on somewhere else. Absolutely international. Grade: 3

Code: 20552041
