  • Mississippi Palisades State Park (Illinois, USA)

    Confusing if you don’t already know where this is:  it’s not in (or even close to) Mississippi.  This card is a view of the Palisades and the Mississippi River from the Savanna (Illinois) and Sabula (Iowa) Bridge.  Someone had written “1960s” into the postage area, but otherwise unused.  Grade: 3

  • Great Smoky Mountains National Park, John P. Cable Mill (Tennessee, USA)

    Also known as Cades Cove Cable Mill, this is (or was, when the card came out) “the only Grist Mill left in the Park using an overshot wheel”.  That will not mean much to a lot of us, but we respect it nonetheless.  Unused Color King card 81280.  Grade: 1

  • Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Pinnacle Overlook (Kentucky, USA)

    Unused, aging Dexter Press card 54760-B.  We’ve placed this card in “Kentucky” but if the location, or the view, is somewhere else, don’t be angry — just tell us and we’ll fix it.

  • Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier (Banff National Park)

    Climate change effects being what they are, we thought we’d do a bit of searching to see how Victoria Glacier may have been affected.  In this case, Dr. Google is not giving up any secrets.  We tried.  Unused, aging postcard, some age foxing on the reverse.  Grade: 2

  • Grand Teton National Park, Teton Range, Jackson Lake (Wyoming, USA)

    Unmailed H.S. Crocker card NPR-1, issued by Northern Pacific Railway (and with their logo), offering this view to travelers who wanted a side trip from Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon.  Seven proper nouns in one short caption.  There’s some marking in the lower part of the address area.  Grade: 3

  • Itasca State Park, Headwaters of the Mississippi River (Minnesota, USA)

    The nicely understated caption on this unmailed card says “The river itself plays a great part in inland water transportation and flood control for our central states”.  When droughts don’t dry it up, that is.  Apart from the word “Keep” written into the stamp area (clearly they didn’t), the card is in good condition.  Grade: 3

  • Yellowstone National Park, Mt. Washburn (Wyoming, USA)

    Unused, older H.S. Crocker card 157, whose caption says only that “Mt. Washburn is reached by the highest road in the Park.”  We will trust that this is true.  Grade: 1

  • Olympic National Park, Lake Crescent from Lake Crescent Lodge (Washington, USA)

    Unused card 40589 published by National Park Concessions.  The lodge itself was built in 1915, and still there, but at the time we’re typing this, it’s “temporarily closed”.  We’re guessing that’s just seasonal.  Grade: 1

  • McGregor, Pike’s Peak (sic) State Park (Iowa, USA)

    This unused “local” postcard takes up more than its share of space.  The first clue that it’s not from Colorado is that the caption mentions the Wisconsin River.  Another anomaly is that the card’s scene is actually Wyalusing State Park in Wisconsin.  Considering that this park and the Colorado mountain were named for the same person (Zebulon Pike), one might think there would be an apostrophe somewhere in the names.  One would be wrong.  As for the card, it’s beginning to show its age but nothing major.  Grade: 1
