-
Braslavskiye Lakes National Park (Belarus)
This 5-1/2″ x 8″ card was mailed in 2012 with eight stamps (seven are the same) and four postmarks. Most of the reverse is taken up with a Belarusian caption about the history of the park. Somehow this card survived mailing well. Grade: 2
-
Ronald McDonald House Charities – Huai Nam Dang National Park, Chiang Mai (Thailand)
In 2012, McDonald’s Thailand sponsored this promotion selling sets of cards and discount coupons on behalf of RMHC, the in-house charity organisation. This is one of the unused 5″ x 7″ cards. Grade: 1
-
Death Valley National Monument, Furnace Creek Ranch (California)
As we sit here in the middle of a cold and gray Hong Kong winter, Death Valley sounds pretty good to us. The card: unused, gently aging. Grade: 2
-

Not postally used, with a message taking up much of the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Fort Worden State Park, Point Wilson Lighthouse (Washington, USA)
Somewhat bleak view of this facility at the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula, a part of Fort Worden State Park. Unused, slightly aging card. Grade: 1
-
Barnegat Lighthouse State Park (New Jersey, USA)
Unused card dated 1965, an aerial view showing “America’s second oldest lighthouse, Barnegat, which was built in 1856-58 by Lt. General George Meade.” This claim is at odds with other lighthouses (and their postcards) in our website, but we don’t make these things up. Grade: 1
-
Port Isabel Lighthouse State Park (Texas)
Unused Dexter Press card 14395-C (and FW-649) of this inactive lighthouse dating from 1852. It was “discarded from use” in 1905 and somehow is still there. Grade: 1
-
Fort Washington State Park, Light House lens (Chinook, Washington)
Unused local card 69954. This appears to be just the lens on display, not the entire lighthouse. Grade: 1
-
Michilimackinac State Park and Lighthouse, Mackinaw City (Michigan, USA)
As a reminder, we try to follow the spelling used on the postcards themselves. Two of these unused 1967 Hiawatha cards 46781-H (30433) are available. They say this lighthouse was built in 1872 and in operation until 1957, with “the possibility that a marine museum may some day open.” At least one internet source says the lighthouse went into operation in 1892, and that it did indeed reopen as a museum in 2004. Grades: 2
-
Acadia National Park, Bass Harbor Light (Maine, USA)
Unused Mike Roberts card C3888 (and ME560), one of few (in our stock) that also identifies the lighthouse location as a national park. Grade: 1
-
Cape Hatteras National Seashore – Lighthouse, Buxton (North Carolina)
Some special things about this lighthouse postcard: first, the caption identifies the light as the “Tallest Lighthouse structure in America”. At somewhere between 200-207′, this is still true now. Second, the card was mailed (with address, but no message) using a block of four different 2-cent “National Parks Centennial” stamps representing Cape Hatteras. Third, a large, clear Buxton postmark. This card therefore was a predecessor in style to today’s Maximum Cards, and would be a jewel in any specialty collection. Grade: 1
-
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park (Oregon)
Unused Smith Western, Inc., card S-1548-3 (and K-273), aging. Grade: 2

-
Badlands National Monument, sunset (South Dakota, USA)
Unused Dexter Press card 10×18846-C. The caption writer ran rampant. Very slight aging. Grade: 1
-
Lassen Volcanic National Park (California, USA)
The reverse caption on this unused H.S. Crocker card K-105 says that Mt. Lassen is “America’s most recently active volcano,” meaning that the card either pre-dates Hawaii as a state, or they mis-spoke. Aging a bit but in good condition. Grade: 1
-
Glacier National Park, West Side Tunnel (Montana, USA)
Not postally used, but with a message fully occupying the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Mount Sunapee State Park, ski trails (Newbury, New Hampshire, USA)

Unused Dexter Press card 54812-D (N-4-949), serrated edges, aging slightly. Grade: 1
-
Lincoln State Park (Indiana, USA)
Unused, somewhat aging Curteichcolor card 6C-K430. The caption takes up more than half of the message space–it does go on and on. Abraham Lincoln lived somewhere near here from 1816-1830, and his mother died there. Grade: 2
-
Yellowstone National Park, Tower Fall in Tower Creek (Wyoming)
Unused Curteichcolor card 54K105 (6C-K289) of a waterfall described in the caption as being “the height of a 12-story building.” Some aging on the card. Grade: 2
