We wanted to tell you where the painting is now, and a little bit of the back story, but when we went to read about it, we threw up our hands.  This famous painting, often called “Whistler’s Mother” though that is not the correct name, has really been around.  Unused, very old and aged sepia card.  Grade: 3

There was an exhibition at the Louwman Museum in The Hague, celebrating 125 years of automobile advertising.  The caption on the back is long and all in Dutch, but somehow doesn’t identify this car as a famous American flop, the Edsel.  Mailed in 2012 with stamp and postmark.  Some postmark ink smudging on the front.  Grade: 2

We know the card is from 1946, though looks much older.  The front:  what you see.  The reverse:  stamp, a huge special “Befreiungsfeie Wiener Secession” postmark, the attribution “508 M.L.M.W.II”, and no handwriting.  (Like a first-day-of-issue cover, though we don’t know.)  Grade: 1

An old stone fortress/castle from the Middle Ages, this became a museum of archaeology in 1890 and has expanded to include other areas.  As for the card, sepia, with stamp and postmark as you can see here.  The back is unwritten, but the printed attribution reads “Ern. Thill, Bruxelles, serie Anvers phototon, no. 12”.  Grade: 1

The Lighthouse is now part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park, and the former Keeper’s Lodging was turned into a museum.  Unused Plastichrome card P81362, just beginning to age.  Grade: 2

Unused 5″ x 7″ card from the National Air Force Museum of Canada showing a DC-3 aircraft that served in India from 1944-1946.  Grade: 1

An open, but complete, set of six unused cards produced by the Science Museum in conjunction with the Urban Council.  The scan shows the paper sleeve (upper left) and three of the six cards.  The other three cards include a relief model of Hong Kong’s land area, a security robot on patrol in the museum, and “images made from the synchronization of a series of time-lapsed images taken by camera”.  The aircraft, not incidentlly, is “Betsy,” a DC-3 built in 1942 and the first plane of Cathay Pacific Airways.  Grade: 1

We had the great good luck to be able to visit The Hermitage long ago, when the country was still CCCP and the city was still Leningrad.  Wow!  What exhibits!  Now, a postcard, mailed in 2013 with four somewhat overlapping stamps and two large postmarks.  Grade: 1

As with several other aviation-themed postcards from Belarus, this was “prepared with the participation of the Museum of Aviation Technique (Baravaya village of Minsk region)”.  Two of these cards are available, both mailed.  One has large stamp and clear postmark (Grade: 1, $4) while the other has a full postmark but partly torn stamp (Grade: 3, $2).

Our other cards from this Museum focus on individual aircraft.  This gives you the overview.  Three of these mailed cards are available.  One has one very large stamp and postmark Aonther has two smaller stamps, postmark, and bilingual Prioritaire chop.  The third has one larger and one smaller stamp, postmark, and the Prioritaire chop.  All three cards:  Grade: 1

This somewhat flimsy 4-7/8″ x 6-7/8″ card survived being mailed in 2013 with three different stamps and illegible postmark.  It comes from the Metro Museum at New Delhi’s Patel Chowk Metro Station.  Grade: 2

All printed captioning on this card is in German, and some of that obscured by the Priority label (and there are two stamps, and postmark), but we see this is probably an exhibit of toys or models?  Mailed in 2013.  Grade: 2

The front of this card is fine.  The writer tried to make a small, sloppy correction on the back but stamp and full postmark are there, so … Grade: 2

Mailed from Vilnius in 2013 with stamp, bilingual Pirmenybine and other small sticker.  Grade: 3

As far as we can tell, the poster advertises a Czechoslovakian production of Richard III in 1988, and the poster is now in this Finnish museum.  The 1989 card however was mailed in 2013, with stamp and faint postmark over the Priority label.  Grade: 2

Unused card.  The original price sticker is still on the back.  Grade: 3 (because of the sticker)
