Bok Tower
Linen card mailed in 1941, with stamp and postmark. We knew someone named Bok once, and would have sent this on, but that was long ago. Grade: 1

Code: 10110245
Price: $1.00
Miami, Sun n Surf Motel
Not sure why, but we thought there would be many properties with this name, so we went to Google. Somewhat to our surprise, this one (still there) dominates the list. A card mailed in 1971, long message in tiny writing and with some extra writing in the address area. Stamp and Kennedy Space Center postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10110246
Price: $2.00
Miami, Flamingos and Nests at Hialeah Park
Curteich-Chicago linen card OB-H218 (D.C. 27), in fact the same picture with two slightly different captions on two cards from two print runs. One was mailed in what looks like 1945, with 1-cent stamp and faint postmark (Grade: 2, $2) and the other is highly aged, but unused (Grade: 3, $1).

Code: 10110247
Price: $2.00

Tarpon in Mid-Air

Code: 10110249
Price: $1.00
The Southernmost Point, Sea Shells for Sale
Oddly, the unused Curteichcolor card 0EK-328 (FK.160) doesn’t say exactly where this is. We know (Key West) but it just seems like a strange omission. And at $1 per shell, you know this is an older postcard. Grade: 1

Miami, Villa Vizcaya and Gardens
…of the James Deering estate. Mailed in 2013 with round “Global Forever” stamp, postmark, and postal abrasions all around. Perforated top and bottom edges mean this came from a set, or a page of cards. Grade: 4

Code: 10110259
Price: $1.00
White Springs, Stephen Foster Memorial, Museum
Unused Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” card 1C-H302, explaining plans then underway to build a 200-foot-tall carillon tower housing tubular bells to “play Stephen Foster melodies at any desired hour of the day or night,” which we are certain would make the neighbours jump with joy. Grade: 1

Price: $3.00
Daytona Beach, Automobile and Motorcycle Races
Mailed in 1948, with 1-cent stamp and postmark. But it was to go to Canada, the postage wasn’t enough, so there is also a Canadian 2-cent Postage Due stamp and an extra rubber-stamp chop. At least Amelia agreed to pay! Hard to grade, it’s all postal, so we will call this Grade: 2

Code: 10110274
Price: $3.00
Daytona Beach Shores, Treasure Island Beach Lodge
When this card was mailed in 1975 (stamp and postmark are there), this property might have been something special. Our quick Google search shows that it turned into an “eyesore” and a debate was going on about what to do with the long-closed place. Grade: 1

Code: 10110275
Price: $2.00
St. Petersburg, Saltair Apartments
Unused, old B&W card showing this apartment short or long-term rental property. It might still be there but the Google search sort of scared us off. Aging card. Grade: 1
