Price: $5.00
Boston Light (Massachusetts)
Two of these cards are available. The one you see in this scan was mailed in 1905 with stamp and Boston postmark (Grade: 2, $6). The other has more writing on the front bottom, from someone wanting to exchange postcards with a correspondent, and has stamp plus two overlapping 1906 postmarks (both readable) from sending and receiving offices. We have resisted commenting much on this phenomenon, but we have plenty of proof here that USPS could move mail great distances in one day–back in those days (Grade: 2, $6).

Michilimackinac State Park and Lighthouse, Mackinaw City (Michigan, USA)
As a reminder, we try to follow the spelling used on the postcards themselves. Two of these unused 1967 Hiawatha cards 46781-H (30433) are available. They say this lighthouse was built in 1872 and in operation until 1957, with “the possibility that a marine museum may some day open.” At least one internet source says the lighthouse went into operation in 1892, and that it did indeed reopen as a museum in 2004.

Point Loma Lighthouse, San Diego (California)
You might notice we describe the same facility different ways, and when this happens, we’re just following what the card says. This old Newman Company card L.15 was not postally used but has a poignant little message written on the reverse. We feel their frustration! Grade: 4

York Beach, Nubble Light (Maine)
With all due respect to Nubble Light, postcards of it are beginning to feel like those of the White House or the Golden Gate Bridge: they look the same. But we respect that there are always minor differences–wave action, weather, atmosphere, always something. This card has serrated edges, Dexter Press M-1238, and was mailed in 1982 with a 13-cent stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1
