Petersburg, The Onstott Cooper Shop at Old Salem State Park (Illinois)
In 1934, someone visited this place, got the card, and wrote a long addendum to the caption. Not postally used. Quoting the card’s real caption, “Here Lincoln studied by the light of the Shavings.” Grade: 4

Mt. Rushmore National Monument (South Dakota)
We hope the Monument will remain as “imperishable” as the caption on this unused Dexter Press card 80774-B promises. Slight aging. Grade: 1

Code: 39200152
Price: $0.50
Shrine in Stone Frame (South Dakota, USA)
In the pantheon of Mount Rushmore postcards, here’s one where you can’t really see it, through the tunnel in the Black Hills. Unused “local” card DK-124. Grade: 1

Code: 39200153
Price: $1.00
Eisenhower Medical Center, Palm Desert (California)
Unused H.S. Crocker Mirro-Krome card CFS-1405-C, serrated edges. Did you know the hospital was built on land donated by Bob Hope? Neither did we. Grade: 1

Code: 39200154
Price: $1.00
Sunset at Mt. Rushmore (South Dakota)
Mailed in the 1970s, with 15-cent stamp and faint postmark and airmail sticker. Serrated edges. Is there room for one more head? Grade: 1

Code: 39200155
Price: $1.00
Ford’s Economic Drive
Unused and unattributed. That’s Jimmy Carter lurking under the hood/bonnet. Grade: 1

Code: 39200157
Price: $1.00
Donald Trump
We pondered what we could write here, and came up with this question: What do James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, and Donald Trump have in common? They are (or were) all presidents of the United States. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 39200158
Price: $1.00
Donald Trump and Mike Pence — 2017 Inauguration
Let a smile be your umbrella on a rainy day. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 39200159
Price: $2.00
Rutherford Birchard Hayes
America’s 19th President, and yet another who lost the popular vote (to Samuel Tilden) but won in the Electoral College. He is also, for reasons we won’t go into, a national hero in Paraguay. Unused card from the Hayes State Memorial in Fremont, Ohio. Grade: 1

Code: 39200160
Price: $3.00
Benjamin Harrison
Old (though must be 1901 or later), unused, embossed, and the perfect addition to a collection of American presidents postcards. Grade: 1

Code: 39200161
Price: $3.00
Calvin Coolidge
This postcard dates itself as 1923 (or later) and because of its pristine, unused condition, it would be easy to think this was a reproduction. We genuinely believe it to be an original card because the printing style on the reverse is similar to other cards of that era. Regardless, if you are searching for a Calvin Coolidge postcard (and who isn’t?), here it is, right here waiting for you. Grade: 1

Code: 39200162
Price: $3.00
President Taft at Brockton Fair
This unused card, dated 1912, commemorates President Taft’s visit to the Brockton Fair (Massachusetts) on Oct. 3, 1912. Grade: 1

Code: 39200163
Price: $7.00
Lincoln’s Birthplace, Hodgenville (Kentucky)
Unused E.C. Kropp card 5440 N, not to be confused with similar cards in our site. Grade: 1

Code: 39200164
Price: $1.00
Jefferson Davis Monument, Fairview (Kentucky)
Even in today’s charged climate, monuments like this still abound. Noting the irony that Abraham Lincoln was born not too far from here, we learn from Wikipedia about this monument: “The Jefferson Davis Monument State Historic Site is a Kentucky state park commemorating the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America… The site’s focal point is a 351-foot (107.0 m) concrete obelisk. In 1973, it was believed to be the fourth-tallest monument in the United States and the tallest concrete-cast one.” Not certain about now. Unused, heavily aged Curteich-Chicago C.T. Art-Colortone linen postcard 2B-H1282. Grade: 1

Code: 39200165
Price: $3.00
J.F. Kennedy and Tito (of Yugoslavia) in 1963 (magnetic)
Sourced from Belgrade’s Museum of Yugoslav History, this unused and contemporary B&W card is flexible and magnetic. The yellow sticker should be able to be peeled off. Grade: 1

Code: 39200166
Price: $6.00
John Quincy Adams
An old, unused, embossed card with an almost invisible thumbtack hole through the eagle’s wing. Slowly, slowly we are edging towards our goal of having at least one card with something about each president, but if you acquire cards randomly, this isn’t so easy — especially if, like Adams — they were born in 1767. Grade: 4

Code: 39200167
Price: $2.00
Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota)
Unused Mike Roberts card C19208 (B-65) whose captions on the front and back are the same. Grade: 1

Code: 39200168
Price: $1.00
Benjamin Harrison
Mailed in 1909, with stamp and clear Texas postmark. Some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 39200169
Price: $3.00
Zachary Taylor
We vaguely remember from history class that Taylor didn’t really want the job. Would he want it now? Unused, very old, embossed postcard with a small notch missing from the upper edge. Grade: 4

Code: 39200170
Price: $3.00
Mt. Rushmore (South Dakota, USA)
Nice close-up view on an unused, older card whose caption misspells the first name of the sculptor, Butzon (sic) Borglum. Grade: 1

Code: 39200171
Price: $1.00
James Monroe Home, Charlottesville (Virginia)
The caption in this unused Tuck’s Post Card “In Old Virginia” series 2567 might not be clear, but this view of Ashlawn, President James Monroe’s home at least for awhile, shows a pine tree he planted. It seems the house, now called Highland, is now there as a museum but we’re not certain about the pine tree. A great card for collectors of presidential ephemera. Grade: 1

Code: 39200172
Price: $4.00
President Taft, vacation home (Millbury, Massachusetts)
Arguably one of the most obscure Presidential postcards you’ll ever find, but that makes it even better: divided-back card mailed in 1910, with stamp and most of a postmark, the message makes it apparent that the writer was the niece of Delia C. Torrey, whose home had been President Taft’s vacation destination. The writer adds a note: “He called to see Aunt Delia”. So … only four degrees of separation between you (with the postcard) and Taft. Grade: 1

Code: 39200173
Price: $6.00
Gettysburg Address
Not postally used, but with a message filling the reverse. (And, if you don’t already know, the connection is to President Abraham Lincoln.) Grade: 4

Code: 39200174
Price: $0.50
Grover Cleveland
Yes, an ancient ad card, and so much more. The sales pitch from Bass-Hueter Paint Company fills the message area, and the card was mailed in 1911 with stamp and full San Francisco postmark. Contents on the front, punctuated by President Cleveland, make this a genuine historical relic, worth every penny. Grade: 1

Code: 39200175
Price: $11.00
Jefferson Memorial (Washington, DC)
Dedicated in 1943 to the memory of Thomas Jefferson, and still an imposing and iconic element of the Washington scene, as you see on this unused H.S. Crocker card S-160. Grade: 1

Code: 39200176
Price: $2.00
Springfield, Abraham Lincoln’s Home (Illinois)
One might say the caption in this unused Curteichcolor card 8C-K616 is actually too long, too detailed for most people: costs, dates, reasons, an so on. But there it is, and it can all be yours. Grade: 1

Code: 39200177
Price: $2.00
Washington Monument, Cherry Blossom Time (District of Columbia)
Another unused card, another view — Capsco K-17415 — aging somewhat, but clean. Grade: 1

Code: 39200178
Price: $2.00
Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool (Washington, DC)
Unused old B.S. Reynolds card 40669 (M561) with an impressively unpopulated Arlington, Virginia, in the background. Grade: 1

Code: 39200179
Price: $3.00
Mount Vernon, The West Parlor (Virginia, USA)
Official card 170504 from the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association of the Union, featuring Martha Washington’s Chinese export tea service in the foreground. Grade: 1

Code: 39200180
Price: $2.00
Mount Vernon, East Front (Virginia, USA)
Nice, clear view of George Washington’s mansion in this unused “local” postcard PE-102. Grade: 1

Code: 39200181
Price: $2.00
Mount Vernon, Family Dining Room (Virginia, USA)
Unused Curteich-Chicago linen card 1B-H1269. We look at this scene and can’t help wondering what the Washington family talked about around the dinner table. Grade: 1

Code: 39200182
Price: $2.00
Mt. Vernon, Washington’s Mansion (Virginia, USA)
Unused, old linen Curteich-Chicago card 8A-H3041. The caption says Washington died in the second-story room with the end window, but doesn’t say which end. All we know is that he met his end. Grade: 1

Code: 39200183
Price: $2.00
Mt. Rushmore (South Dakota, USA)
Did you ever wonder where the name “Rushmore” came from? Wikipedia tells us (condensed): “Beginning with a prospecting expedition in 1885 with David Swanzey (husband of Carrie Ingalls), and Bill Challis, wealthy investor Charles E. Rushmore began visiting the area regularly on prospecting and hunting trips. He joked with colleagues about naming the mountain after himself. The United States Board of Geographic Names officially recognized the name “Mount Rushmore” in June 1930.” It had various other names before that, and joking with friends hardly seems like a valid basis to rename a mountain, but there you go. We have two of these unused Dexter Press cards 30863-B. Grades: 1

Code: 39200184
Price: $2.00
Washington Monument and Cherry Blossoms (Washington, DC)
Unused Plastichrome card P5757 (W-128) showing this “tapering Shaft, capped with pure precious aluminum”. (The caption writer had a bright future.) Grade: 1

Code: 39200185
Price: $2.00
