Myslowice, Centraine Muzeum Pozarnictwa – firefighters (Poland)
A very nice contemporary card showing posters of firefighters, and as a bonus, one of the two large stamps also shows a firefighter. Two clear postmarks, and Priorytet label.

Opevnění Jindřichohradecka (Czech Republic)
This is a domestic card with extensive captioning in Czech, including this: Navštivte Muzeum čs. opevnění 1938 – Klášter II, which means something like: Visit the Museum MS. fortification 1938 – Abbey II. The writer of the message on the card (mailed in 2012, two stamps, partial postmark) tried to explain everything, and probably did, if we have the patience. Grade: 1

Code: 34400160
Price: $4.00
St. Petersburg, View of Palace Embankment and Hermitage (Russia)
Mailed in 2012, the card has a huge stamp that wraps around to the front, and a brilliantly full St. Petersburg postmark. BUT … the address and the message are on pasted labels. Grade: 4

Code: 34400162
Price: $5.00
Vampilova Museum, Kutulik (Russia)
Technically this is probably not a postcard. It is 4″ x 7-1/2″ and looks as though it may have been #10 in a set. The reverse has many lines of printed (Russian only) text extending into what would be the address area, and there is also a written message from the sender, who put it into an envelope. However it could easily have been mailed as a postcard if someone had wanted to do that. Grade: 4

Code: 34400163
Price: $3.00
Adler Planetarium and Astronomical Museum, Tellurion Clock (Chicago, USA)
Full credit to Wikipedia for this definition: “A tellurion (also spelled tellurian), is a clock, typically of French or Swiss origin, surmounted by a mechanism that depicts how day, night and the seasons are caused by the movement of the Earth on its axis and its orbit around the sun. The clock normally also displays the age of the moon, and the four-year (perpetual) calendar. It is related to the orrery, which illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in the solar system in a heliocentric model. The word tellurion derives from the Latin tellus, meaning Earth.” We just thought you wanted to know. Unused sepia card, highly aged. Grade: 2

Code: 34400164
Price: $1.00

Unused card but it has a number inked above the postage area. Grade: 3

Price: $1.00
Ottawa, SODART, Louise Bourgeois sculpture MAMAN (Canada)
Everything about this is confusing, including the name of the museum, the location of the sculpture, and even which of this artist’s sculptures it is. As best as we can determine, this is outside the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) despite what the caption says. The card was mailed in 2012 with four different and very large Canadian stamps totalling C$1.84 in value, none of them cancelled. Grade: 4

Code: 34400166
Price: $3.00
