  • Kazan (Russia) (set of 18) – Millenium Bridge (not postcards)

    You can unfold the cover, remove the cards, see the fronts, and it is only when you turn them over that you see the reverses are fully printed (in Russian) with details of what they show.  So, yes, they are unused; and no, you could not mail them as postcards in the usual way.  But they are the right size and shape, and deserve listing here anyway.  This set also marks the most different theme categories for any one entry, so there’s that.  Inside, a card of the Millennium Bridge.  Grade: 1

  • Market Street Bridge, over Brandywine, Wilmington (Delaware, USA)

    If you Google this, you are going to jump through hoops to figure out what’s what.  We think we know a few things now:  there have been several “Market Street Bridges”; this one was the North Market Street Bridge; and it’s gone now.  As for the card, written by a lonely daughter to her mother, it has a larger stamp and two overlapping postmarks from 1913.  All in all, if you collect bridge postcards, this one’s good for you.  Grade: 2

  • Canon City, Royal Gorge, Diesel Train (Colorado, USA)

    Unused Dexter Press card 84134 from Sanborn Souvenir, with rounded corners and a caption on the back calling the Suspension Bridge you see here spanning the Arkansas River the “World’s Highest Bridge”.  It should surprise nobody that Googling a list of “world’s highest bridges” now ranks this one as #24, behind one in Mexico, one in Papua New Guinea, and 21 in PR China.  Grade: 1

  • Canon City, Royal Gorge, World’s Highest Bridge (Colorado, USA)

    0We’ve noted before that this bridge, which might well have been the world’s highest when it was built in 1929, has fallen (not literally) to #24 now and probably destined to slide further down the list.  Still impressive, though, unlike this old used card mailed in 1942 whose front is OK but whose back is in awful condition, missing stamp and with a jumble of faded writing.  Grade: 4

  • Mackinac Bridge at night (Michigan, USA)

    Another “world’s …est” postcard, this time described in the caption as “the World’s Largest Suspension Bridge”.  This is a designation Google refuses to recognize, though the honour now might go to the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Kobe (Japan), with Mackinac well down the list.  In any case, of course it’s impressive — more than the postcard itself, which is unused but has significant smudging on the reverse.  Grade: 3

  • Pikeville, swinging bridge (Kentucky, USA)

    Odd that the caption on this unused Dexter Press card 18028-C doesn’t specifically identify the bridge, of which there seems to be more than one example near Pikeville.  Pauley?  Boldman?  Another?  The card’s aging (as must be the bridge) and Grade: 2

  • Philadelphia, Roosevelt Boulevard Bridge over Pennypack Creek (Pennsylvania, USA)

    Pastoral, eh?  Not so much now.  Wikipedia includes this factoid about Roosevelt Blvd.: “Today, Roosevelt Boulevard is among the most congested arteries in the country. According to a report by State Farm Insurance, the second- and third-worst intersections in the country are both found on the Boulevard, at Red Lion Road and Grant Avenue, respectively,”  Unmailed old linen card, with “1940s” written into the stamp area.  Grade: 3

  • Salt Petre Cave, natural bridge (Virginia, USA)

    This unused Tichnor Bros. Lusterchrome card K-7792 has a sparse caption that only mentions Virginia, so we dug deeper (sorry!) and everything Google turned up was in Kentucky.  Adding “Virginia” to the search bar only informed us that Virginia has many such caves — so we can assume that the caption writer, like us, just gave up.  Nice card, though.  Grade: 1

  • London, Westminster Bridge and Houses of Parliament

    As the postmark clearly shows, this card had been mailed in Iowa (USA) in 1910.  The stamp of course is long gone, but there’s little to recommend the card apart from it being authentically old.  Grade: 4-

  • London, Houses of Parliament Looking to Westminster Bridge

    We do sometimes wonder why so many purely European postcards were mailed from the U.S. in the early 20th century.  Here’s another:  a fine card, nicely captioned, and mailed from Maine in 1910.  The stamp and postmark and long, interesting message are all there.  Maybe at that time there was nothing of note in Maine?  Grade: 3

  • Låtefoss (Norway)

    Låtefoss is a waterfall located in Ullensvang Municipality. The 165-metre (541 ft) tall waterfall is special in that it consists of two separate streams flowing down from lake Lotevatnet, and as they fall, they join in the middle of the waterfall, just before going under Norwegian National Road 13 built in 1867–69, making for a spectacular (and wet) view as one drives over the old, stone, six-arched bridge.  That’s the scene.  As for the card, it was mailed a few years ago with stamp, indistinct postmark, Prioritaire label, and pasted address label.  Grade: 4
