Hebron, Public School
Absolutely classical view of the prototypical middle-American school in the 1940s and 50s.

Indianapolis, Motor Speedway Museum interior
Unused card, vintage 1960s, of the 500 Mile Race Museum. The card itself (Curteichcolor 4DK-1199) is published by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation and shows the Maserati that Wilbur Shaw drove to victory in the 1939 and 1940 races.

Price: $3.00
Indianapolis, Speedway main gate
Unused R.C. Reavis Curteichcolor card 4DK-1499 from the 1960s, showing the main gate of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We’ve not been there but we suspect it is a bit bigger now. Grade: 1

Centerville, Original Northwest Territory courthouse
Built in 1810, this building–according to the caption–seems to have been moved twice since its original location at Salisbury, a town that no longer exists. A house without a home, so to speak. Unused card 95488. Grade: 1

Code: 10115029
Price: $2.00
Ft. Wayne, Johnny Appleseed grave
It happens sometimes, that we get two cards with the same photo on the front, but different captions (and publishers, and index numbers) on the reverse. So, here we have two unused cards, one from Nelson Jones (#30185) and one from Marquart Photo Service (#29951). The captions are completely different, except that each credits the same photographer. Nelson Jones has some visible abrasion on the reverse. Grades: 3

Valparaiso, A much trodden path at Sagers
Google tells us that Sagers is a lake near Valparaiso, complete with Lover’s Lane. We tell you that the B&W card was mailed in 1909 with stamp and full postmark and is in superb conditon. As a side note, why on earth did the USPS abandon this type of postmark in favour of the blurred mess they use now? Grade: 1

Code: 10115036
Price: $4.00
Wabash, Up the Wabash River
Rotograph Co. B&W card D27272, mailed in 1907 with fully readable postmark, and stamp. Minor album indents on corners. Grade: 2

Price: $5.00
Terre Haute, Moonlight on the Wabash
Even we find it hard to believe we have two of these mailed cards, both to the same person but from different senders, each mailed in 1908 and each with stamp still there. Our scanned photo shows the better of the two cards (Grade: 2, $6) while the other card has a better postmark but also all that ink transfer on the front (Grade: 4, $3).

Code: 10115038
Price: $6.00

An extensive caption on the reverse of this card, mailed in 2011 or 2012, explains everything. Postal barcoding, three different stamps. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Logansport, Lone Cliff, Administration Building
Another name for this facility was “Northern Indiana Hospital for the Insane,” though that didn’t make it on to the faintly visible caption at the front bottom of this postcard. Still, that’s what it was. The card is unused but has one name, Pauline, written in the address area. Grade: 3

Code: 10115042
Price: $8.00
Corydon, Old State Capitol
Unused Curteich-Chicago card OB424-N of a building that served as Indiana’s capitol from 1816-1825. Significant abrasions on the front lower left. Grade: 4

Price: $2.00
La Fayette, Purdue University, Heavilon Hall
We told you we tell the stories, so here’s one for you about this card, mailed in 1942 with stamp and local postmark: Heavilon Hall was dedicated in 1894 and burned down four days later. Rebuilt by 1895, it (what you see here) lasted until 1956 when the building was demolished–with clock and bells placed in storage. The original bells and restored clockworks have been incorporated into the latest Heavilon Hall, completed in 1995. So there! Grade: 1
