Tomb of President McKinley (Canton, Ohio)
This is a companion card to 10136008 which shows the McKinley home. But this card does not mention the publisher. The tomb is in West Lawn Cemetery of Canton. Unused card, and if you buy both of these (08 and 09) the combined price can be $11. Grade: 2

Code: 36100002
Price: $7.00
U.S.S. Arizona Memorial (Honolulu)
This unused card was bought in 1963 and tucked away. It’s as-new apart from mild aging on the reverse. It has three printed attributions on the back, so we’ll call it Nani Li’i card S-255. Grade: 1

Code: 36100003
Price: $3.50
U.S.S. Arizona (Honolulu)
Unused Nani Li’i card S-191, dating from some point between the raising of the flagpole in 1950 and construction of the memorial itself in 1961. Grade: 1

Interior of Jehangir Tomb, Lahore (Pakistan)
The reverse is fully printed with a map, area, and population facts about the country before it was divided. But it’s roughly the right size to be a postcard (3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″) and from the front you’d never know. Grade: 1

Code: 36100013
Price: $3.50

Superb unused card 209 from Universal Postcard & Picture Co. in Shanghai. Yes it’s a bit dark, but then so is the theme. Definitely a specialty card. Grade: 1

Published by Foreign Languages Press in Beijing, in the 1980s or earlier, this card was mailed from Beijing in 1991, and has three stamps, two of which are magnificently large and scenic; two full postmarks; and a bilingual red par avion chop as well.

Code: 36100024
Price: $9.00
Giza pyramids (Egypt)
Unused, unmarked, with serrated edges and in terrific condition front and back. Card dates from mid-1960s but with this scene you know it could have been the 1260s. No apologies for placing it in this category! Grade: 1

Code: 36100026
Price: $4.50
Great Sphinx and Kheops Pyramid (Egypt)
Card from 1969 was never mailed and is in superb, unmarked condition. Grade: 1

Code: 36100027
Price: $4.50
The Pyramids (Giza, Egypt)
We wonder whether urban sprawl has affected the scene since this 1960s card was made? Never mailed, really almost as-new but for the beginning of aging on reverse. We recognise that postcards of the Pyramids are hardly in short supply. But who knows, this might be just the one to complete your collection. Grade: 1

Code: 36100028
Price: $4.50
The Sphinx and Khephren Pyramid (Giza)

Tomb of President James Polk (Nashville)
This unused Kropp Co. card 5991 of the early president, who is said to have died from chronic diarrhea, is a little misleading. The front caption, as you see, says “Capitol Hill.” True, but it’s the Tennessee state capitol, not the federal capitol. Grade: 2

Code: 36100035

Code: 36100042
Price: $2.00
Mary Washington Monument, Fredericksburg (Virginia)
Unused Curteichcolor card 3DK-215. Note the resemblance to the “other” Washington Monument? This one is over Mary’s grave. Grade: 1
