Code: 33800215
Price: $2.00

Code: 33800222
Price: $2.00
Albuquerque, Indian Sanatorium (New Mexico, USA)
One thing this Curteich-Chicago linen card A-18 accidentally illustrates is the number of ways to spell “Sanatorium”. If you don’t believe us, check your search engine! Mailed from Tucson with two stamps and indistinct postmark. The Indian groups who primarily benefited from this facility were the Pueblo and the Navajo, for tuberculosis. Grade: 2

Code: 33800223
Price: $4.00

Code: 33800225
Price: $1.00
Fort Union Trading Post (North Dakota, USA)
On your first look at this unused card, you might straightaway think “military” but the caption goes out of its way to explain that this is not so: “Established in 1828, this site was not a military installation, but a genuine trading post designed to do business with Plains Indians.” Grade: 1

Code: 33800226
Price: $2.00
Buffalo Bill and (8) Indian Men, 1886

Price: $3.00
Santa Clara Indian Pueblo (New Mexico, USA)
Unused, colourful, linen, Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” card 5A-H2528. Below the caption, added as a rubber-stamp chop, is the legend “U.S.O., Gallup, New Mexico”, indicating that the card was made available through this servicemen’s organisation. We will not downgrade the card because of that. Grade: 1

Code: 33800231
Price: $3.00
Indian Sanatorium, Albuquerque (New Mexico, USA)
Brilliant card mailed in 1941 with stamp and postmark, unfortunately defaced by two holes punched through it (including through the stamp). So, space filler only, for collectors of sanitorium postcards. Grade: 5

Code: 33800232
Price: $0.50
How Navajo Indian Rugs Are Made
Unused Curteich-Chicago C.T. Art-Colortone linen card 3A-H710 (#27). Two things are distinctive about this postcard: first, for a card of standard size, it has one of the longest captions we’ve ever seen — perfect for the person who didn’t have much to say in their message. Second, it has an additional rubber-stamped “chop” from a U.S.O. in Gallup, New Mexico, indicating that the card was made available to servicemen or women. Minor stains on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 33800233
Price: $2.00
Navajo Indians at Home
Unused Curteich-Chicago C.T. Art-Colortone linen card 9A-H1638 with a caption that would not see the light of day in these contemporary times. The card, as with some others we offer, has a Gallup, New Mexico, U.S.O. rubber-stamp “chop” on the reverse, along with a couple of obvious age stains. Grade: 3

Code: 33800234
Price: $3.00
Geronimo
Unused card, rounded corners, from the Old West Collectors Series (#6a). Grade: 1

Code: 33800235
Price: $1.00
Wigwam Lodge, Tempe (Arizona, USA)
More contemporary card of a 1960s view, mailed in 2021 with Global Forever stamp, postmark, and both orange and black postal barcoding. The caption tells us this hotel was built in 1945, started to be converted, then partly demolished in 1971 and finally gone in 1983, for Arizona State University use. One cannot help but wonder if ASU debated keeping these as part of a Native American Studies unit, but clearly that didn’t happen. Grade: 2

Code: 33800236
Price: $1.00
Nanih Waiya State Park (Mississippi, USA)
Greetings from Nanih Waiya State Park, on an unused card whose caption squeezes a lot of information about sacred mounds, the Choctaws, dates, and so on, into seven lines. Deep South card DS-713. Grade: 1

Code: 33800237
Price: $2.00
Feathers
The artist is identified in the caption as Paul Windsor, Haisla, Heiltsuk … and the caption goes on to describe the relationship between Eagles, their feathers, and salmon. The card has Native American origins in Canada but was mailed from the USA in 2021, with four stamps and overriding postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 33800238
Price: $2.00
Apache Indians
Unused linen Curteich-Chicago card 4A-H920 (D-18) with a florid caption that might not make it through first editing these days. Grade: 1

Code: 33800239
Price: $2.00
Native Indian Tribes (USA)
We like this card a lot, without knowing how accurate it is or what liberties it takes with boundaries. It was mailed from Arizona in 2022 with a round Global Forever stamp and crystal-clear postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 33800240
Price: $4.00

Indian Maiden and Her Flock
See our entry 33800241. Unused, but this is an exception to the “Grade 1” of the others. What looks like a break in the clouds on the upper left front is actually a major abrasion on the card. So, this card in the series only, Grade: 5

Code: 33800248
Price: $0.50
Sioux Teepees, Dakota Sioux
See our entry 33800241. Unused. But another less drastic exception to the grading: this card has an abrasion near the postage area, not affecting the front. Grade: 3
