Code: 39300046
Price: $2.00
Hollow-post drainage mill, Haarlem (Netherlands)
Though it’s tempting for persons who live in places with no windmills to think they are all the same, it’s clearly not true, as captions remind us. What we also learned here is that this has a radius of about 24 meters. The card was mailed in 1983 with full postmark and stamp. It shows a little bit of handling. Grade: 2

Code: 39300047
Price: $4.00
Marthas (sic) Vineyard, Dunroving Ranch, Chilmark (Massachusetts)
Search engines tell us this windmill was built around 1812. Chilmark is still there on Martha’s Vineyard, though we’re not certain about Dunroving Ranch. The card is very much alive, though: linen, unused, Tichnor Quality Views No. 70100. Grade: 2

Code: 39300048
Price: $2.00

One of our more eye-catching contemporary cards, that’s for sure, and would entertain every postman along the way. Mailed in 2012 from Amsterdam, with two stamps, part of the postmark, and blue Priority label affixed. Grade: 2

Code: 39300053
Price: $5.00

Code: 39300057
Price: $2.00
Burra, SA – Windmill in Canola Crop (Australia)
Sitting here in otherwise wonderful Hong Kong, we look at the sky in postcards like this and know that local children here hardly ever see this shade of blue. As for the card, it probably qualifies as a Maximum Card because it was issued by Australia Post with “Postage Pre-Paid” pre-printed on the reverse (and postmark), but please note CAREFULLY that the stamp you see in the scan is also printed onto the card and never was a separate stamp. Grade: 2

Code: 39300058
Price: $6.00
Greetings from Holland, multiple views
All that’s missing are the tulips. The card was mailed in 2012 with a large stamp, but there’s no postmark. Orange postal bar coding. Grade: 4

Code: 39300059
Price: $2.00
Palma de Mallorca, multiple views (Spain)
Nice, normal tourist card, a bit creased in the post, but also mailed from Netherlands (two stamps, Priority label), not Spain. Grade: 3

Code: 39300060
Price: $1.00
Retz, and windmill (Austria)
From the postmark, we think this card was mailed in 1926, with three different stamps. Some minor edge abrasions, and looking old, but basically in good condition. Grade: 2

Code: 39300061
Price: $4.00
Holland, windmill (in flower shape)
We mention that the card is made in the shape of a flower because the scans don’t make this obvious. Mailed in 2012 with two stamps, ilegible postmarks, blue priority label, and two other stickers. Grade: 4

Code: 39300062
Price: $2.00
Kinderdijk, the village with 19 windmills (Netherlands)
Mailed in 2013 with stamp and Rotterdam postmark. The ultimate windmill postcard, we guess. Grade: 1

Code: 39300063
Price: $3.00
Old Windmill, Prescott (Ontario, Canada)
This is a very old “local” B&W card of what is now called “Battle of the Windmills Historic Site”. We knew nothing of the background, so we looked it up and were interested to see that 300 Americans invaded Canada in 1838 (the card says 1837) with the idea that Canadians would rather be Americans, and when the Americans lost this battle, many were sent off to Australia. We suspect there’s more to the story, but the card is here waiting for you. And by the way, it is not a mistake that we are also placing this in our “Lighthouse” category. For that, a good search engine will help. Grade: 1

Code: 39300064
Price: $8.00
Windmill and tulips (Netherlands)
This is a nice card, and could there be anything more generically Dutch? All that’s missing are edam cheese and some wooden shoes. Mailed in 2012 with three stamps, postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 39300065
Price: $2.00

Code: 39300067
Price: $2.00
Windmill, Gotochi-style (Netherlands)
If you are familiar with “Gotochi” cards in Japan (and Taiwan), you would understand why we call this one Gotochi-style. Though it is not quite as sturdy as the real thing, it is the same concept. The irregularly shaped card was mailed in 2013 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 39300068
Price: $3.00
Groeten uit Zeeland (Netherlands)
Mailed in 2013 with stamp and two postmarks, one over the other. Grade: 2

Code: 39300069
Price: $2.00
Scenic Michigan
The true value of this card is if you are building a collection of (mailed) state maps and want a nice one with an unusual stamp (Global Forever) from Michigan. Mailed in 2013 with readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 39300070
Price: $2.00

Windmill in the settlement of Pyrohiv (Ukraine)
The four key views — in Kyiv, Lviv, and Khotyn — are identified in the caption of this unused card. Pyrohiv is near Kiev. Grade: 1

Code: 39300075
Price: $2.00
Sing a song of six-pence (USA)
At first glance this doesn’t look like an ad card, but it is, and a very old one at that–mailed in 1910 from Louisville, with stamp and postmark. Very nice early example of the genre. Grade: 1

Code: 39300076
Price: $4.00
Kinderdijk/Holland
Iconic among windmill postcards, we are told this particular mill is now on the UNESCO World Heritage list, though the card itself predates this designation. Mailed however in 2013, with stamp and postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 39300077
Price: $2.00

Price: $1.00
Wooden windmill (Kansas, USA)
