Cape Cod, Radio Station WOCB (Massachusetts, USA)
Here’s an abbreviated Wikipedia entry: “WOCB first signed on as an AM station October 2, 1940; the station was originally owned by the Cape Cod Broadcasting Company. It originally operated at 1210 kHz, but moved to 1240 in 1941. WOCB shut down in May 1943 after running out of money, resulting in its license being canceled by the FCC on November 30.” Basically, it’s now WXTK. As for the postcard, it’s Tichnor 76250, not postally used but the writer filled the reverse with a message that may have been sent in an envelope. Grade: 4

Unused card. This seems like a good time to tell you the tower’s observation area opened in 1965; the tower itself in 1967; and more was added in 1987. So now it’s 224m high, and the fourth-tallest structure in Brazil. Grade: 1

Cult Epics (California)
From a series of ad cards collected in Los Angeles in 2017 … technically not postcards, we suppose, as most are fully printed on both sides and couldn’t be mailed the conventional way (except that this one does have enough blank area for an address and stamp). But they are the right size and shape, and uniformly eye-catching. Grade: 1

Unused official World’s Fair card, unused, serrated edges, and with a caption explaining that the movie theater inside had an exhibit “telling the story of how portability and mobility have served man’s needs from the beginning of time” (!) There’s a lot more to the caption, too. Grade: 1

Avenue of the Stars (Hong Kong)
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.
