Code: 31600362
Price: $1.00
Madison, State Capitol (Wisconsin, USA)

Price: $3.00
Hartford, State Capitol & Memorial Arch (Connecticut, USA)
Mailed in 1906, with stamp and all or part of three different postmarks. Crease through lower left corner, not really disfiguring. Grade: 3

Code: 31600374
Price: $3.00

The State Capitol of Alabama (Montgomery)
Unused “Colourpicture” Publications (Boston) card M-100 (16023). Grade: 1

Limoges – Palais de Justice et Statue Gay-Lussac (France)
Mailed in 1908, with stamp and postmark from sending or receiving station on either side. In case you’ve forgotten, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac was a French chemist and physicist. He is known mostly for his discovery that water is made of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen (with Alexander von Humboldt), for two laws related to gases, and for his work on alcohol-water mixtures, which led to the degrees Gay-Lussac used to measure alcoholic beverages in many countries. So the next time you’re in a bistro in Limoges, with aperitif in hand, you have double reason to celebrate. Grade: 2

Code: 31600378
Price: $14.00
Boise, State Capitol (Idaho, USA)
C.T. Art-Colortone linen postcard 7A-H61 (325), unused except for a one-cent stamp in the postage area. The best-laid plans … Grade: 3

Price: $2.00
Jackson, State Capitol (Mississippi, USA)
Curteich-Chicago linen postcard 7A-H2007 (MI-2), mailed in 1942 with stamp and partial postmark. This was part of a postcard club swap, and the recipient made a note on the back of what she then sent to the sender. All very polite and precise. Grade: 3

Code: 31600380
Price: $2.00
Dover, The City Hall (Delaware, USA)
Unused Plastichrome card P18095 from what looks like the 1950s. Grade: 1

Code: 31600381
Price: $3.00
Gulfport, Confederate Monument, Harrison County Courthouse (Mississippi, USA)
Maybe it’s just because we are so far away, but Mississippi postcards have been harder for us to source. As for this unused E.C. Kropp entry 12581N, after a quick Google search, and as of August 2017, the statue has survived America’s national purge of Confederate symbols. No idea right now what happened after that. Grade: 1

Code: 31600382
Price: $2.00
Arizona Symbols – State Capitol
In answer to their question: one. But everything is revealed in the caption on the back of this unused card. Phoenix is the state capitol. Grade: 1

Unused postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 31600384

Code: 31600385
Price: $3.00
Delaware – The First State (USA)
An unused “local” card for several categories, with the photos nicely identified in the caption on the back along with a shadow map of the state. The government building in question is the Legislative Hall in Dover. Grade: 1
