Famous Maine Lighthouses (no border)

Point Venus Lighthouse (Tahiti)
We have no choice to place this unused Columbia View Card 171601 in the primary “French Polynesia” category but the card was printed in USA, the caption and all are in English, and it doesn’t look like a card that was for domestic sale in Tahiti. Search engines didn’t help much with that. But they did tell us it was built by Robert Louis Stevenson’s father, which was interesting. Grade: 1

Code: 34000050
Price: $3.00

Storm at Nubble Light (York, Maine)

Alderney, Channel Islands – multiple views
Yes, we understand, we should have a separate category for all the independent or semi-independent (what’s the right term? autonomous?) islands in or near Great Britain, but we would never know how to do that — or where to stop. Maybe later. But, for now, this unused card of a location 21 miles from Guernsey. Grade: 1

Code: 34000068
Price: $4.00
Green Island (Taiwan)
We aren’t certain whether this card was commercially produced, or self-made by the writer, because the reverse has no caption or printing–just two stamps (with postmark), two small stickers, and message. Grade: 3

Code: 34000069

Four of these cards are available. The front legend translates as “Lighthouses along the Dutch coast” and so they are, all identified by name, date, and location on the reverse caption.

Black Sea, Adzhigolsky Lighthouse (Ukraine)
We love this card. It’s so bleak, but that is what lighthouses are all about anyway. Mailed in 2011, this postcard has three different and very large stamps (two of trains, one of a lighthouse though not this one), but the postmark is not fully legible. Grade: 1

Code: 34000073

Unidentified (Poland)
The good news: the photo is really gorgeous. If you like lighthouses, how can you not like this picture? The other news: we have no idea where it is. The card measures 4-3/8″ x 8-7/8″ and was not postally used, though it has a written message from the sender in Poland. The printed attribution is to galeria cytryna, PR 128 fot. AJE44, and though we did some digging, we finally gave up. Grade: 4
