Kotlin Island, Russia
Somewhat bleak picture probably reflecting the location. The card has some postmark transfer on the front, and was mailed in 2012 with two stamps and full Tver postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 34000131
Price: $5.00
Noordwijk (Netherlands)
This 5-3/8″ x 5-1/2″ card was mailed in 2012, with “Europa” stamp and postmark. The photo is so clear, you can almost feel the wind blowing. Grade: 1

Code: 34000132
Price: $4.00
Hanko, Gustavsvarnin tomi (Finland)
Mailed in 2012, stamp and partial postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 34000133
Price: $3.00
Panorama TopCard – lighthouses (Netherlands)
More of an extended postcard than a greeting card, nevertheless it is folded in thirds (made that way) and opens to reveal the 12 lighthouses you see in the scan. When folded, the reverse acts as a postcard and was mailed in 2012 with stamp and most of the postmark. Please do note that this is not a conventional postcard–just think of it as a very long one, that folds in thirds. Grade: 2

Code: 34000134
Price: $4.00
Bolshoy Utrish, lighthouse and church (Russia)
Though an internet card from PostalShop, this is a great example of a lighthouse postcard, with minor postmark ink transfer on the front but four different stamps (three quite large and distinctive), and three full Spartov postmarks from 2012. Grade: 2

Code: 34000135
Price: $6.00
Uostadvaris Lighthouse (Lithuania)
In the Nehunas River Delta. This card was mailed in 2012, with four stamps, two postmarks, and blue Pirmenybine sticker affixed. Some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 34000136
Price: $3.00
Lighthouses of Ohio
Unused, contemporary card. Grade: 1

Code: 34000137
Price: $3.00

Mailed in 2012, a card of this Finnish lighthouse with Priority label, and large but uncancelled “train” stamp. Grade: 3

Code: 34000138
Price: $4.00
Schöner Bodensee (Lake Constance), Lindau (Germany)
Mailed in 2012 from Switzerland (not Germany!) with two different stamps, postmark, and Blue A Priority label affixed. Grade: 1

Code: 34000139
Price: $3.00
herinnering (Netherlands)
Lighthouse on currency on a card mailed in 2012 with barely cancelled stamp. Grade: 2

Code: 34000140
Price: $2.00
Sapelo Island, Georgia (USA)
The card tells us this lighthouse was “built in 1820 for $14,500,” then decommissioned in 1905 and restored in 1998. Mailed in 2011 with 28-cent stamp and some splotching on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 34000141
Price: $4.00
Burgh Haamstede, vuurtoren West Schouwen (Netherlands)
Clear, crisp card making the lighthouse look totally out of place in a field but we understand that’s how it is. The 3-3/8″ x 7-1/2″ card was mailed in 2012 with stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 34000142
Price: $5.00
Dunmore East, Co. Waterford lighthouse (Ireland)
Unused card, No. 61 in the Irish Lighthouse Series. Grade: 1

Code: 34000143
Price: $2.00
Brighton (Ontario), Presqu’ile Provincial Park (Canada)
Unused “local” card. Grade: 1

Code: 34000144
Price: $3.00
Belitung, Lighthouse at Lengkuas Island (Indonesia)
Belitung is a pretty place, laid-back and (by Indonesian standards) relatively unspoiled, probably because it is not easily accessible. Then getting to this lighthouse takes even more effort, and climbing to the top takes what’s left of your energy. But what a view … We have seven of these unused cards, all clean but faintly smudged from having been in an outdoor shop for so long. Grades: 1(-)

Code: 34000145
Price: $5.00
Pulau Lengkuas, Belitong (Indonesia)
One day on this little island was just about right, with an easy climb to the top of the lighthouse and a spectacular view as the reward. Unused card, on which the reverse has this same photo and only a small space for a message. Six of these cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 34000146
Price: $5.00
Pulau Lengkuas, Belitong (Indonesia)
Unused card, with the photo repeated on the reverse. We’re not quite certain what that red line is running through the photo, but it is part of the card. Five of these are available. Grades: 1

Code: 34000147
Price: $5.00
St. Augustine Lighthouse (Florida, USA)
Mailed in 2012 with stamp and mostly readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 34000148
Price: $1.00
Captain Upton’s House (E. Hopper) (USA)
Internet card mailed from Netherlands in 2012, and the stamp is there but it was not cancelled. Address label affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 34000150
Price: $1.00
Fort Jefferson Lighthouse (Florida)
Unused card issued by the USPS in 2009, semi-maximum in that it has a pre-printed 28-cent stamp of the same lighthouse on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 34000151
Price: $2.00
Cabo da Sao Vicente (Portugal)
We should call this a “good-news-bad-news” postcard. The good news: great card, four stamps, full postmark, trilingual Priority label. The bad news: all this was mailed from Germany, not Portugal. Grade: 3

Code: 34000152
Price: $2.00
Groeten uit Zeeland (Netherlands)
Not up to star quality but if you want to see multiple lighthouses on one postcard, you can consider this one. Mailed in 2012 with three stamps and full postmark (and Priority label), there is an area of abrasion along the left reverse edge. Grade: 4

Code: 34000154
Price: $1.00
Florida’s Lighthouses
Measuring 5″ x 7″, this card was mailed with five different stamps and mostly readable postmark, but unfortunately it also has a major scrape on the upper left front (the white line under “Florida’s”). Still, here all the lighthouses are, so it’s all right as an entry card. Grade: 5

Code: 34000155
Price: $2.00
Port Fairy, Victoria (Australia)
Mailed in 2012 with stamp and Adelaide postmark. Small sticker on lower left reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 34000156
Price: $4.00
Port Fairy, art montage (Australia)
Colourful artwork on this unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ card showing all the attractions of this Australian village. Two cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 34000157
Price: $4.00
Point Wilson Lighthouse (Washington, USA)
Somewhat bleak view of this facility at the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula, a part of Fort Worden State Park. Unused, slightly aging card. Grade: 1

Code: 34000158
Price: $3.00
St. Simons Island Lighthouse (Georgia, USA)
Linen Curteich-Chicago card mailed in 1961 with stamp and postmark to the Oregon State Highway Department, asking for a map of “your state and other surrounding states.” We wonder what journey this card made to wind up with us? Among lighthouse “firsts,” “The first Government lighthousewas built on this spot in 1808,” though not this particular structure. A little postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 34000159
Price: $4.00
North Head Light House (Washington)
Two of these linen C.T. Art-Colortone cards 8A-H118 (and 547) are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $4) and the other was mailed in the 1950s with stamp and blurred postmark (Grade: 2, $3).

Code: 34000160
Price: $4.00
Bass Harbor Light, Mt. Desert Island (Maine, USA)
Two of these unused Mike Roberts cards C15993 (and ME1333A) are available. The fronts are the same, but these come from different print runs: one before and one after ZIP codes were introduced. Captions are the same, though, and so are the cards’ conditions (Grades: 1, $3).

Code: 34000161
Price: $3.00
Fort Point Light, Newcastle (New Hampshire, USA)
We believe this card was mailed in 1917. Stamp and postmark are there, and the postmark is generally legible though in an unusual format and overlaps a long, barely readable message. Very old water staining apparent. Grade: 4

Code: 34000162
Price: $3.00
York Beach, Nubble Light (Maine, USA)
We do have quite a few different versions of this lighthouse postcard, from all perspectives–this one being distant. The unused Dexter Press card 71044-C (and M-1243) has serrated edges and calls Nubble Light “one of the most popular scenic attractions on the Maine coast,” which accounts for the large variety of postcards! Grade: 1

Code: 34000163
Price: $3.00
Portland Head Light (Maine)
Unused Dexter Press card 32064-C (and M-1733), and among other lighthouses’ “firsts,” this one was the “first established beaconlight erected by the United States in 1791”. Serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 34000164
Price: $3.00
Beaver Tail Light House, Jamestown (Rhode Island, USA)
Unused card S-42716. Grade: 1

Code: 34000165
Price: $4.00
Spruce Head, White Head Light from Water (Maine)
Unused, heavily aged Hugh C. Leighton Co. card 10109, abrasion on the front and pencil notation dating the card in 1910 on the reverse. Grade: 5

Code: 34000166
Price: $2.00
Historic Lighthouses of Maine
Mailed from neighboring Canada (with Canadian stamp and postmark, of course), this card shows Nubble, Portland Head, and West Quoddy Head Lights in contemporary views. Compare these with older cards of the same structures. Grade: 3

Code: 34000167
Price: $5.00
Peggy’s Cove, The Lighthouse (Nova Scotia, Canada)
Unused Plastichrome card P79634 with a small abrasion on the reverse. Don’t confuse this card with one to follow, with the same photo but a caption at the front bottom. Grade: 2

Code: 34000168
Price: $4.00
Beverley Harbor, Hospital Point and Lighthouse (Massachusetts)
Two unused Lusterchrome cards K-5968 are available. One is unmarked (Grade: 1, $3) and the other has a pencilled explanation in the message area (Grade: 4, $2).

Code: 34000169
Price: $3.00
Portland Harbor, Two Lights and Cape Elizabeth Life Saving Station (Maine, USA)
Well-loved postcard, mailed in 1922 with stamp and New Hampshire postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 34000170
Price: $6.00
Owl’s Head Light, Rockland (Maine)
Unused, linen, heavily aged Curteich-Chicago card 0B-H1571. Grade: 2

Code: 34000171
Price: $3.00
Habana, Malecon and Music Pavilion (Cuba)
If you collect old Cuban postcards, you can consider this one, mailed in 1913; stamp and postmark are there, and readable message. Aged, and some abrasions on the front, but classic for the era. Spot the lighthouse in there, too. Grade: 3

Code: 34000172
Price: $9.00
