    Washington “Toothpicks” from a Washington Forest

  • “Toothpicks” from a Northwest Forest

    We never quite know how to handle cases like this.  There are a total of four cards with this identical caption.  Three are unused C.T. Art-Colortone cards 2B-H355 (869), linen, each aged; two have sticker stains on the reverse (Grades: 3, $0.50) and one has no stain (Grade: 1, $1).  The fourth card comes from Wesley Andrews 29989-N, is not linen, is not postally used, and has some writing on the back.  The base photo is the same as those other cards, but the sky is different.  And all this was in the days before computer manipulation.  For this fourth card, Grade: 3 ($.50).  Also note, these are not the same as cards with the same picture that are attributed to Washington, or Oregon, or Idaho, or all of those.

    “Toothpicks” from a Northwest Forest

  • Giant Fir Log (Oregon, Washington, USA)

    This photo has been used by at least four different postcard publishers (including Dexter Press 59052), and we know this because we have examples from all of them, ten cards in total.  The colours vary slightly according to print run.  Captions are the same except for one thing:  some say “Oregon” only, while others say “Oregon and Washington.”  One of our cards was mailed in 1958, with three-cent stamp and postmark (Grade: 1, $2) and all the others are unused Grades 1 or 2 ($1).
