Price: $5.00
The Silversmith’s Daughter (Navajo)

Catherine Tekakwitha grave (Kentucky)
The caption on this old, unused Albertype Co. card is really over the top and doesn’t help us understand the story very well: Catherine Tekakwitha, “America’s Little Indian Flower, Lily of the Mohawks, lived but twenty-four years a life of suffering love.” Grade: 2

Code: 33800051
Price: $4.00
Warping the Fur Barge up Stream

Route 66 – Through Oklahoma, Little “Nonnie”
Iconic. This is H.S. Crocker card LD-526-C, with serrated edges, and mailed from Oklahoma in 1971 with stamp and full postmark. Raymond wrote to Sharon–but not much. Grade: 1

Unused, slightly aging Sanborn Souvenir Co. card 32284 (549), with a circular “chop” on the back indicating that the card was sourced from Bruin Inn of North Cheyenne Canon. We consider this logo to be an integral part of the card and are not downgrading because of it. Grade: 1

Code: 33800065
Price: $3.00

We sort of would like to say something, but we’ll let it go. The outhouse is a clue. Unused and unattributed card. Grade: 2

Code: 33800071
Price: $1.00
Mohegan Sun Casino (Connecticut, USA)
It may be because this casino group has expanded into more than one state, but the card (at least the part we can see) does not specify which location this is. References to the large size of the facility lead us to think it’s the mother property in Connecticut. Mailed with two stamps and partial postmark only. Grade: 2

Code: 33800072
Price: $1.00
Oklahoma Indian Totem Pole
Unused, mildly aging Plastichrome card P1436. Grade: 2

Code: 33800079
Price: $2.00
Route 66 “Main Street of America”
In the pantheon of Route 66 postcards, at least this one is inclusive. Yes, once, Route 66 was the Main Street of America, and thanks to clever and persistent marketing efforts, it almost still is. The card was mailed internationally in 2013 with three different stamps (two were postmarked). Grade: 1

Code: 33800080
Price: $2.00
Greetings from Arizona
