  • Springfield, Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children (Massachusetts, USA)

    Springfield, Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children (Massachusetts, USA)

  • Saint Lukes Hospital, Denver (Colorado, USA)

    A photo of “The largest private general hospital in Colorado” on a card mailed in 1958 with stamp and full postmark.  We do hope Vera has recovered.   Grade: 1

    Code: 35900043

    Price: $2.00

    Saint Lukes Hospital, Denver (Colorado, USA)

  • Chicago, County Hospital (Illinois, USA)

    Very early 20th-century B&W postcard, stamp and postmark are there but the year is hard to read.  Grade: 2

    Code: 35900044

    Price: $4.00

    Chicago, County Hospital (Illinois, USA)

  • Gt. Yarmouth, Hospital for Decayed Fishermen (England)

    One of our favourite captions ever, even though the card itself is not in such great shape.  Probably more than 100 years ago, someone pasted a US 1-cent stamp on it, and while there is a faintly scribbled address and message, we can’t tell if the card was actually mailed.  Grade: 4

    San Diego, U.S. Naval Hospital (California)

  • Wesley Memorial Hospital, Chicago (USA)

    What an extensive and almost annually revised history for this complex, now several generations later called Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital.  Is the building still there?  We don’t know.  Unused card.  Grade: 1

    Hospital garden in Arles, 1889 (V. Van Gogh)

  • Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis (Indiana, USA)

    We have no real reason to doubt this is (or was) the Methodist Hospital, but the caption on the back of the card says–in its entirety–“The sources of Indianapolis’ water supply, sand filtered and purified, are White River and extensive deep wells.”  Mailed in 1942 with stamp and postmark, and what seemed like pencilled forwarding instructions but we’re not sure about that, either.  Grade: 3

    Code: 35900053

    Price: $2.00

    Veteran’s Hospital, Temple (Texas, USA)

  • Topeka, S.B.A. Hospital and Beauty Spot (Kansas, USA)

    Seems like an odd combo on this unused Metrocraft linen card #10, but anything goes, right?  S.B.A. stands for Security Benefit Association and this building was completed in 1930, sold in 1961 to the Menninger Foundation, which left Topeka in 2002 and the owners passed the property along to St. Francis Health Center in 2008.  Or at least that’s what the internet tells us.  Grade: 1

  • Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 32)

    We’re supposing this set was produced in the 1980s, from old photos.  The cellowrap is gone but all 32 sepia unused cards are still bound in, and span a vast and interesting cross-section of places and themes, military, education, cemetery, ships, construction, waterfronts … so much.  We will list this set in several theme categories, though without further explanation, so if it’s in a category you can be certain at least one card (but not all) meets the requirements.  You will hardly find this set anywhere else–very scarce now.  Because a price sticker lies over the original printed price, we’re assigning Grade: 2.

  • Waynesville, Haywood County Hospital (North Carolina, USA)

    We’re guessing this stately structure, or at least its facilities, were replaced by the Haywood Regional Medical Center, for which we enjoyed reading online reviews.  The postcard?  Linen, unused, Grade: 1

  • Westerly, The Hospital (Rhode Island, USA)

    Mailed in 1936, this card has its stamp, full postmark, and a short strip of gummed tape along the upper reverse edge.  There’s also some postmark ink transfer on the front.  The card had been part of a postcard swap from a long-ago club.  Grade: 4

  • San Jacinto Hospital, Baytown (Texas, USA)

    Here’s what we think may have happened, but don’t hold us to this:  the structure was redeveloped and is now the site of Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital.  This card was mailed in 1961, with 3-cent stamp and clear Baytown postmark.  Grade: 2

  • Martinsburg, Newton D. Baker Veterans’ Administration Hospital Center (West Virginia, USA)

    Mailed in 1948 by a patient who clearly wanted to go home, this card has its stamp and postmark, and an extra small rubber-stamp indicating that the recipient answered it.  Some postmark ink transfer on the front.  What makes this postcard more distinctive, it seems like the original caption was along the top edge but something went wrong so the producer overprinted that black line and put a new caption at the bottom.  Anyway … Grade: 3

  • Dover, The Kent General Hospital (Delaware, USA)

    Delaware postcards can be surprisingly hard to find, so here’s one … unused, Del Mar News Agency #75429.  As for the hospital, as we usually do, we Googled it.  Now called Bayhealth Hospital, Kent Campus, it has decidedly mixed reviews, a polite way of saying that if those reviews are true (big IF), some homework might be useful before checking in.  Grade: 1

    Code: 35900072

    Dover, The Kent General Hospital (Delaware, USA)

  • Meridian, Matty Hersee Hospital (Mississippi, USA)

    If you want some interesting reading, Google the history of this charity institution, opened from 1892 – 1989, apparently then haunted, and finally under demolition in 2015.  Far more than we can tell you here, but it gives us new appreciation for the postcard.  As for the card, someone started to write an address but got no further than that…the ghosts took control?  Grade: 4

    Meridian, Matty Hersee Hospital (Mississippi, USA)

  • Middletown, State Hospital (Connecticut, USA)

    After an online search, we could say so much, but will confine ourselves (no pun intended) to this: opened in 1868 as the Connecticut General Hospital for the Insane, and now known since 1961 as Connecticut Valley Hospital.  The postcard was mailed in 1944, with stamp, postmark, and old address label.  Grade: 3

  • Wesley Hospital and Nurses Home, Wichita (Kansas, USA)

    Built in 1912, now it’s the Wesley Medical Center.  As for the card, it was mailed in the mid-1950s (indistinct postmark), but the stamp is there.  Someone long ago inked a date on upper right reverse.  Grade: 3

  • Gleneagles (Hong Kong)

    This advertising card measures 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″ and was mailed in 2019 using Hongkong Post’s English-language pre-printed Circular Service imprint.  Yes, exactly the kind of gift your dad wants:  a lung screening.  But mom’s not left out!  Oh, no!  On the other side, the suggested gift is a breast screening.  Grade: 1

  • St. Barnaba’s Hospital, Minneapolis (Minnesota, USA)

  • St. Mary’s Hospital, Rochester (Minnesota, USA)

    The card was dated 1970 — at least the photo — and was mailed in 1978 with 13-cent stamp and Rochester postmark.  Serrated edges.  Unusually, the caption doesn’t say where the hospital is, despite calling it “one of the largest privately owned hospitals in the world,” and we know from a quick search that it is now part of the Mayo Clinic.  Dexter Press card 15X-DT-68284-C.  Grade: 1
