Price: $2.00

Luzern mit Pilatus
Nice, old view on the front. The reverse is another story: not postally used, heavily aged, some stains and abrasions, and a note that someone visited in July of 1910. That helps date the card, at least. Grade: 4

Code: 20552097

Code: 20552105

Geneve, Vue generale
Unused Jaeger postcard 7022 with a couple of non-disqualifying stains on the reverse. It’s an old card, serrated edges, and somehow we remember Geneva like this. Grade: 2

Price: $5.00

A tour around Switzerland on one unused card, made better because those views are identified on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20552107
Price: $5.00
Bern-Zytglockenturm
This old clock tower’s name has as many different spellings as it does restorations (Wikipedia:) “The Zytglogge (lit. ‘time bell’) is a landmark medieval tower, built in the early 13th century. It has served as guard tower, prison, clock tower, centre of urban life and civic memorial. Despite the many redecorations and renovations it has undergone in its 800 years of existence, the Zytglogge is one of Bern’s most recognisable symbols and the oldest monument of the city, and with its 15th-century astronomical clock it is within a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.” Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20552108
Price: $3.00

A high-quality, unused card whose only caption, surprisingly, is “Switzerland”. Someone got lazy. Grade: 1

Code: 20552113
Price: $1.00
Lugano, Panorama con il Monte Brè
Lugano has been around for a very, very long time. Monte Brè (925 m) is a small mountain east of Lugano on the flank of Monte Boglia (1,516 m) and is considered one of the sunniest points in Switzerland. Making Lugano look almost tropical, this postcard was mailed from Italy in 1962, with stamp and postmark; it went to Singapore where it attracted another large postmark and then went on to the U.K. And now, it’s here in Hong Kong — and could go to you. Grade: 3

Code: 20552114T
Price: $6.00
Lac Leman
Also known as Lake Geneva, on this card with multiple views. However the card’s not in good condition: mailed from England, it does have a stamp and postmark but also stains and creases. Grade: 5

Code: 20552115T
Price: $0.50

Code: 20552116T
Price: $1.00
Chateau de Chillon et Dents du Midi
Real-photo postcard mailed from Leicester, England (not Switzerland) in what looks like 1958 — stamp and most of the postmark are there. Grade: 4

Code: 20552117T
Price: $1.00
Luzern und die Alpen
With all the peaks identified, and this fine overview of the city, this is about as iconic a Swiss postcard as you’ll find — with the bonus of having its stamp and 1952 postmark. It helps too that the writer was enjoying perfect weather. Grade: 1

Code: 20552118T
Price: $6.00
Grindelwald, Hotel Belvedere und Wetterhorn
The Belvedere is still there, now called Belvedere Swiss Quality Hotel, with terrific reviews. As for the real-photo postcard, it was mailed in 1952 with stamp and postmark and lots of Swiss atmosphere. Grade: 1
