Unused vintage postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20102436
Price: $3.00
Montreal, Chateau de Ramesay (sic)
The 1928 card says “Ramesay” but contemporary usage for this museum is “Ramezay”. Mailed, with 2-cent stamp and postmark, and what looks like some water staining around the edges. Grade: 3

Code: 20102437
Price: $7.00
Wawa (ON), The Wawa Goose
Unused Prismaflex card. “Wawa” apparently comes from the Ojibway word meaning “wild goose”. Grade: 1

Code: 20102438
Price: $2.00
Toronto, The Seaway Hotel
From an online source called Toronto Modern, this: “Now operating as a Four Points by Sheraton, the Seaway Hotel no longer exists in its original state. The dining block has vanished, replaced by a new condominium tower, and the guest wing has been reclad in beige stucco and encrusted with tacked-on classical pediments and mouldings. A clumsy, boxlike Post-Modern portico has replaced the boomerang entrance canopy. Seaway Towers was demolished in 1993 for a new ramp onto the Gardiner Expressway.” Unused card of the hotel first built in 1954. Grade: 1

Code: 20102439
Price: $2.00

Quebec, Le chateau Frontenac
Now “Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac,” iconic and with wonderful reviews. We’d stay there if we could but it is so far away from here … Unused, aged, vintage sepia postcard. Grade: 2

Code: 20102444
Price: $3.00
Montreal, Hotel Ford
We are grateful to Wikipedia for telling us this: “Opened in 1930, the 750-room hotel served as CBC-Radio-Canada Montreal headquarters from 1936 to the early seventies. Located at 1425 René-Levesque Ouest, it is now an office building.” (Didn’t remain a hotel for long, did it?) Unused card, extremely heavily foxed on the reverse. Grade: 4

Price: $3.00
Chateau Lake Louise, Canadian Rockies
Unused, aging, sepia Gowen Sutton Co. card, very long pre-dating the ownership change to Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. If we were owners or managers of the hotel, we’d buy this card for (apparently) the cost of a bowl of ice, and frame it for the office or business centre or wherever. The hotel gets such nice online reviews. Grade: 1

Code: 20102468
Price: $3.00
Quebec, Le Chateau Frontenac
We have two of these old, unused cards. The fronts are exactly the same; the reverses are totally not the same. One card is from Quebec Photo Engravers, and the other from Lorenzo Audet Enr. That second card has this legend on the reverse: “Visiting Quebec City with Blue Band Guides Veterans Organisation”. Grades: 2

Code: 20102469
Price: $2.00
St. John (NB), Martello Tower
At first, we thought this was a lighthouse, but after Googling we learned differently. Dating from the War of 1812, the tower–now called Carleton Martello Tower–is one of nine surviving in Canada and is more correctly defined as a stone defence tower. As for the postcard, mailed in 1909 with stamp and postmark but also many abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 20102470
Price: $4.00
Montreal, General View of McGill University
Unused old postcard with a major water stain along the right reverse edge. Grade: 4

Code: 20102471
Price: $1.00
Montreal, The Mount Royal Hotel
Wikipedia tells us: “Les Cours Mont-Royal is an upscale shopping centre in Downtown Montreal, Quebec which was converted from the former Mount Royal Hotel.” There’s more history, of course, but this is what you need to know about the property. As for the card: mailed in 1924, with stamp and postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20102472
Price: $4.00
Quebec, Le Chateau Frontenac sous la neige
Old, unused and wintry card. Grade: 1

Code: 20102473
Price: $3.00
Montreal, View from St. Joseph’s Shrine
The card tells us where the view is from, but not what it’s of: Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur. Mailed in 1937, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102474
Price: $3.00
Cape Trinity, Saguenay River (PQ)
This card was mailed in 1943, and the stamp and postmark are there. That’s the best that can be said of it: very heavily aged and handled. Grade: 4

Code: 20102475
Price: $2.00
Shawinigan (PQ), War Memorial
Unused, heavily aged card. Grade: 4

Code: 20102476
