San Diego, Point Loma Lighthouse
You might notice we describe the same facility different ways, and when this happens, we’re just following what the card says. This old Newman Company card L.15 was not postally used but has a poignant little message written on the reverse. We feel their frustration! Grade: 4

Lassen Volcanic National Park
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

Los Angeles Harbor, Point Firmin and Lighthouse
Old, unused M. Kashower Co. card 507. Somehow this lighthouse has survived, but not without lots of help. It was built in 1874 using lumber from California redwoods, and the light went out in 1941 due to World War II. Falling into disrepair, and even called haunted, it is now, officially, the Point Fermin (the correct spelling) Lighthouse Historic Site and Museum, in San Pedro. The card: Grade: 1

Code: 10105471
Price: $5.00
