Price: $3.00
Faraway Cottage Colony
Google brings up a few references to this property in 1954, and it seems to be gone now, but the postcards survive: two are available, mailed from what appears to be a hotel booking consolidator to individual travel agents in 1959, asking those agents how many brochures they wanted. The cards each have a USA 3-cent commemorative and partial New York City postmark. Grades: 3

Code: 20707010
Price: $4.00

Hamilton, The Princess Hotel
This place is now called “Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, a Fairmont Managed Hotel.” Tak about polarizing online reviews! Love it or hate it, but as it’s Bermuda and not Cuba, expectations may be higher … so, this card was mailed from Hamilton in 1974, with stamp and postmark. The pool looks big. Grade: 1

Code: 20707016

Map
Like we used to say on our home page, if you can’t go to the island, have the island sent to you. Indeed, in 1971, Marge & Bill mailed this to Etta & Earl. Stamp and postmark are there. Grade: 1
