  • Oregon “Toothpicks”, from an Oregon Forest

    Sharp-eyed customers will be able to compare this card (Oregon) with the identical picture from Washington (10148052) and “Northwest” (40300004), not to mention 10148051 as well.  They got an awful lot of mileage out of a generic photo.  Unused Wesley Andrews card 29989.  Grade: 1

  • A Typical Small Sawmill (Oregon)

    Unused Plastichrome card P6233.  Unusually, there is a silver overlay on the caption area, and a caption on that.  It looks like they might have made a printing mistake during the original run, and corrected it by doing this.  We’re not certain.  Grade: 1

  • A Giant Pine Tree (USA)

    Compare this card with our item 40300048.   There is a caption on the bottom front here, though it really blends into the photo.  The card was mailed by a high school student in 1908.  Stamp and postmark are there.  Grade: 2

  • 1909 – “Peggy” – 1950 (Oregon, USA)

    Unused but heavily smudged Mike Roberts card C8045 that packs a lot of information about this locomotive into the caption.  The card is in this category because the locomotive was used to haul timber.  Grade: 3

  • Misiones – Jangadas (Argentina)

  • Honduras map

    Can’t quite make out the postmark but it looks like the card was mailed in the 1980s.  In any case, what’s now Belize still appears as “Brit Honduras” so that is a clue.  The stamp is there.  Slight aging, but good condition.  And we know it’s a stretch, but look closely for the timber.   Grade: 1

  • Yosemite National Park, Grizzly Giant (California)

    Condensed from Wikipedia, “The Grizzly Giant is a giant sequoia in Mariposa Grove; in 1990 Wendell Flint calculated its volume at 34,005 cubic feet (962.9 m3), making it the 26th-largest living giant sequoia.  Grizzly Giant is the oldest sequoia in Mariposa Grove (and) at one time was considered the oldest and largest tree in the world,  aged between 2,000 and 3,000 years. In 2019, refined scientific dating methods resulted in a new age estimate for the Grizzly Giant: 2,995 years old (plus or minus 250 years).  On July 16, 2022, the Washburn Fire threatened Grizzly Giant and other trees (but) the National Park Service used sprinklers to protect it.”  This old, unused postcard’s caption makes an interesting counterpoint to that description.  Grade: 1
