Price: $9.00
San Jose, Road to Alum Rock Park
Mailed from San Jose in 1921 with stamp and full postmark, this is one of those cards where the message is so poignant it’s almost impossible to forget. What stopped Harry from going? We won’t know. Grade: 3

Modjeska Canyon, Madam Modjeska home

San Francisco, Heidelberg Inn, Ja das haben …
We needed to Google this Bohemian restaurant to learn of its colourful past. They issued a series of postcards. Their own translation of this one reads: “Kiss me girlie–and I will be thine.” Card was mailed in 1915, with large stamp and full Panama-Pacific Exposition postmark. The message, however, we think is in German. Grade: 2

Code: 10105337
Price: $5.00

Los Angeles, Jerry’s Famous Jade Lounge, At Jerry’s Joynt–in Old Chinatown

A Tree of Fruit, California
We suppose these are meant to be oranges, but even with the card here in our hands, we can’t say that for certain. Neither, apparently, could the caption writer. Unused old Pacific Novelty Co. card 6995. Grade: 2
