-
Buenos Aires, View of the Cabildo at May Square (Argentina)
This unused 4″ x 7-1/8″ card is a nice photo but the back is disfigured by splotches from having been pasted into an album. Captioned in Spanish and English, everything however is readable. Grade: 4
-
Buenos Aires, Edificio Kavanagh
This 120m Art Deco building in Retiro’s San Martin Park opened in January, 1936, so the unused card post-dates that — but not by much. Caption on the back is in English. Grade: 1

-
Londrina, Moderna Estacao Rodoviaria (Brazil)

-
Hotel Tirol (Treze Tilias – SC, Brazil)
The hotel is still there, and gets reasonable online reviews. However it also seems there aren’t a lot of hotels in Treze Tilias–or at least they don’t get reviewed. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Rua Jardim Botanico – 1955 – Melhoramentos (Brazil) (A)
Unused card, newer than the 1955 date in the caption, but we’re not certain by how much. We assume the photo is in Rio de Janeiro, and we know the card comes from the Melhoramentos publishing house. You might like to compare this card with our entry 37800105. Grade: 1
-

-
Colonial Hotel, Springfield (Missouri, USA)
Mailed in 1963 with a 4-cent stamp and two postmarks, the card’s poignant message is if anything overshadowed by the history of the hotel itself. For the full story go to “the library dot org” (we don’t like to create links) and see the blow-by-blow description. The building came down in November 1997. As for the card? Grade: 1

Luanda, 4th February Avenue (Angola)
Older card, not postally used but with a message written across the back. And we have two of these, in identical conditions. Grades: 4
-
Kabul, Mohd. Jan Khan Watt (Afghanistan)

Hong Kong Central at night
Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card showing Des Voeux Road and Statue Square with what was Legco (Legislative Council) Building in the centre and HSBC HQ on the right. The photo would have been taken fairly late because usually there’s lots of traffic — vehicular and pedestrian — right there. Grade: 1

From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions. Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken. Nothing at all “American” about this restaurant, which is quite close to us. You just need to see the story about how and when it got its name. Grade: 1
