-
Greetings from Bangor, Lovers Leap (Maine, USA)
We happen to like cards like this for several reasons, foremost being: personality. The picture, the message, the age … and for this entry, here are the details. Mailed in 1906 with stamp, and sending/receiving office postmarks; undivided back. Despite some abrasions, mostly on the reverse, a nice card. It also proves there were postcard exchanges as a hobby more than 100 years ago. If you can’t see it clearly, this particular Lovers Leap (did they ever?) is at Kenduskeag Stream. Grade: 3
-

Greetings from Waupaca, “Come! Gamey Beauties Waiting Here” (Wisconsin, USA)
We would like it if the good folks of Waupaca would band together and buy this unused E.C. Kropp card 4644W23. It has little sections of smudge and stain on the back, we suppose from having been carried in a tackle box. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Waupaca, “A Man’s Job” (Wisconsin)
Unused card, a companion to the previous one. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Tishomingo, A Fisherman’s Paradise (Oklahoma, USA)
Tishomingo may not be large, and it may be remote, but some famous people come from there. And there’s even another Tishomingo, in another state, so we have a lot to learn. The postcard is unremarkable, however. Not postally used, and with writing on the bottom of the front. Grade: 4

Hello from the Picturesque Poconos (Pennsylvania, USA)
The unused card itself is OK but there had been a stamp placed for mailing and maybe someone changed their mind because all that’s left of that stamp is the backing. Grade: 4
-
Greetings from Dodgeville (Wisconsin, USA)
This linen card was mailed in 1939. Stamp and postmark are there but with lots of glue from having been in an album. Grade: 5
