Wenatchee Valley, overlooking apple orchards (Washington, USA)
The unused card dates at some point during the second World War, because it has this caption on the back: “This card is furnished for convenience of men in the armed services by the Washington State Progress Commission … Write the Commission for any information desired about the state or for Victory File for use in planning your first after-war vacation.” Aged and handled over the years, though still Grade: 2.

Kazan, The Artillery (Cannon) foundry (Russia)
Like many other Russian (and Eastern European) cards of this style, this is not really meant to be a postcard but could be used as one with some difficulty.

The Pentagon, Arlington (Virginia)
There’s no shortage of Pentagon postcards, but the Smithsonian–which should know better, we think–loudly captions this as being in Washington, DC, when of course it is across the Potomac River in Arlington. Oh, well. Mailed in 2013 with five different stamps (two of them uncancelled) and full postmark. Perforated left edge suggests it came out of a book. Grade: 2
