Colorado Springs, Helen Hunt’s Grave above Seven Falls
Helen Hunt Jackson was the author of “Ramona”. Unused Dexter Press card 13310-B (#3648), rounded corners. Two of these are available.

Code: 10106210
Price: $1.00
Colorado Springs, Gateway to Garden of the Gods
This unused card almost–but not quite–made it into our “Boring” category as well. We suspect the same area doesn’t look like this now. Grade: 1

Code: 10106211
Price: $0.50

It must be fun to try to navigate around this Museum in January. Oops … it was closed then. Unused Curteichcolor card 6C-K1510 (213). Grade: 1

Denver, Civic Center at Night
Nice old Sanborn card 97500-N, unused, aging, and if you happen to live in Denver you should consider starting to build a “before and after” collection — if you haven’t already done that. Grade: 2

Code: 10106225
Price: $1.00
Royal Gorge, Grand Canon of the Arkansas

Greetings from Keenesburg, Colorado
Here’s a charming description from Wikipedia: “Keensburg was named for Les Keene, an early settler. Its first wedding occurred in 1904. In 1906, the townspeople built the railway station that was later demolished in 1963. In 1912, Keenesburg’s first school opened, which helped cease the mild overflow of Prospect 1-12 (1903-1997, abandoned currently). In 1919, the bar building downtown was built along with several other buildings completed later on in the 1920s… In 1927, they built Keensburg High School (Later Keenesburg Elementary, “home of the Coyotes”). In the 1930s and 1940s, some people moved in, adding more houses… In the early 1970s, Keenesburg was still populated but not as much as before. In the modern days, it has sized well since 1904.” (Sometimes we just like to toss in factoids like this.) Unused old card A162. Grade: 1

“Baldy,” near Monte Vista
Long ago–probably then–someone kindly pencilled the date “March 5, 1915” on the back of this otherwise unused, barely creased, heavily aged old card. Once in awhile, you know, that helps. Grade: 4

Code: 10106244
Price: $1.00
