  • Flint River (Georgia)

    This unused Columbus Photo Service card 2158 is from the 1960s and sadly reports that the bridge had been replaced by “a new cement structure.” No doubt the new cement structure was a vast safety improvement and an historical step backwards. Grade: 1

  • Covered bridge in Vermont

    This unused Don Sieburg card 45083-B (sure looks like a Dexter Press number) is a nice addition to a collection of covered bridge cards, and would be even nicer if we were told which bridge it is (was). But we know it’s in Vermont.  Grade: 1

  • Joliet, West Park, Rustic Bridge and Spring House (Illinois, USA)

    Such a formal messge on a card mailed in 1937, with stamp and postmark.  Some postmark ink transfer on the front.  To be honest, we’re not certain this bridge is “covered” in the conventional sense but the design makes it look somewhat less than uncovered.  Grade: 2

The farm is located on Basil-Western Rd (Co. Rd 13) west of Baltimore off 256.” …and there are several ways of spelling Schryer.  The card is aging but clean.  Grade: 1

  • The Hizey-Visintine Covered Bridge (Ohio, USA)

    Unused card.  According to the caption, “Originally built by James Buchanan in 1891, it was rebuilt by James Visintine in 1991.”  Leading, of course, to two obvious questions if we cared to search:  (1) Who is Hizey, and (2) why did Buchanan’s name disappear?  Life has more critical questions than this, though.  Grade: 1
