Pigeon Point Lighthouse (California)
This unused Dexter Press postcard 56484-B reveals nothing, but Wikipedia reveals everything: built in 1871, tied with Point Arena Light as the tallest lighthouse on the U.S. West Coast, surrounded by Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park, and–in part–a hotel now. Grade: 1

Code: 34000348
Price: $4.00
Los Angeles Harbor, Point Firmin (sic) and Lighthouse
Old, unused M. Kashower Co. card 507. Somehow this lighthouse has survived, but not without lots of help. It was built in 1874 using lumber from California redwoods, and the light went out in 1941 due to World War II. Falling into disrepair, and even called haunted, it is now, officially, the Point Fermin (the correct spelling) Lighthouse Historic Site and Museum, in San Pedro. The card: Grade: 1

Code: 34000349
Price: $5.00
The First Baptist Church, Beverly (Massachusetts, USA)
It’s not instantly apparent why this unused card is dated April 26, 1970 on the front, but it does help give us the age. Someone had written “Lighthouse” up at the front top, though honestly we can’t tell whether that was added later or part of the original template. We would not know this was a lighthouse but for the slogan “The Church with the Harbor Light,” followed by more search engine information. Grade: 3

Code: 34000350
Price: $2.00
New South West Ledge Light, New London Harbor (Connecticut)
One of the least-likely-looking lighthouses in our collection, whatever remains of this structure looks completely different now. The card was mailed from New London in 1911 with stamp and postmark. Some postmark ink transfer on the front. But what a remarkable appearance. Grade: 2

Code: 34000351
Price: $9.00

Lahaina Waterfront at Evening (Hawaii)
A lot going on in this otherwise placid Nani Li’i Natural Color Card S-523: did you know that Lahaina, Maui, was once Capital of the Hawaiian Islands? The ship Carthaginian is berthed near the Lighthouse in front of the Pioneer Inn. Card dates from sometime after 1951. We don’t know how much of this view survived the August 2023 wildfires. Grade: 1

Unused Nani Li’i card S-546, beginning to age. Grade: 2

Spring Point Light, Portland (Maine)

Taipei horbor (sic) lighthouse (Taiwan)
This is one of the clearest photographs we have of any lighthouse anywhere. A brilliant card on high-quality plasticised stock. The only problem is: we don’t know if it is a commercial card or whether one person made it to send for their own use. The caption is what you see as our header, only in English; the message on the card, which was mailed in 2012 with three different stamps, is only in Chinese. Please note that we do not know if this is a self-made card or not. Grade: 2

Code: 34000381
