Code: 10115091
Price: $5.00
Peru, Miami County Court House
In 1944, when this card was mailed (stamp and postmark are there), collectors’ exchanges were going strong. One hopes that Mrs. W. got what she wanted from Mrs. G. Someone (probably Mrs. G.) has added a date in the address area. Grade: 3

Code: 10115092

Unused and ancient E.C. Kropp card 19365. Grade: 3

Code: 10115094
Price: $3.00
Mitchell, Spring Mill State Park, Spring Mill Inn

Catlin, The Catlin Bridge
An odd little story. The bridge was built in 1907 to cross Sunderland Creek but was moved in 1961 to the Parke County Golf Course. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10115100
Price: $2.00
Indianapolis, Methodist Hospital
We have no real reason to doubt this is (or was) the Methodist Hospital, but the caption on the back of the card says–in its entirety–“The sources of Indianapolis’ water supply, sand filtered and purified, are White River and extensive deep wells.” Mailed in 1942 with stamp and postmark, and what seemed like pencilled forwarding instructions but we’re not sure about that, either. Grade: 3

Code: 10115101
Price: $3.00
Rockville, Bridgeton Bridge
Unused Curteichcolor card 2DK-480 (IN.60), aging but clean. Grade: 1

Price: $3.00
Terre Haute, St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s of the Woods (sic)
Quite a long message between sisters on this card mailed in 1910 with stamp and full postmark. The name of the school now–if not then–is Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Grade: 1

Code: 10115104
Price: $5.00
Indianapolis, White River
Even in 1909, when this card was mailed (stamp and clear postmark there), the writer was a bit skeptical of the nature of this river. We haven’t seen it! Grade: 3

Code: 10115105
Price: $4.00
Greetings from Indiana
Though the specific bridges aren’t identified, at least you know what state they’re probably in. Unused Lusterchrome card K-9061 from Tichnor Bros. Grade: 2

Code: 10115106
Price: $1.00
Morristown, The Kopper Kettle
Unused old B&W card from the restaurant itself. Still operating, the reviews are good enough that we wish we could drop in for dinner. It would be a very long drop, though. Grade: 1

Code: 10115107
Price: $2.00
Nashville, Brown County State Park, Abe Martin Lodge
Unused local card. Grade: 1

Code: 10115108
Price: $0.50
Ft. Wayne, Lakeside Rose Gardens
As the caption says, “Noted for its display of many beautiful varieties of Roses.” One would hope so. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10115109
Price: $0.50
Indianapolis, Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral
The cathedral dates from 1907, this unused Curteichcolor card 2DK-1161 (IN.48) from much later than that. Grade: 1

Code: 10115110
Price: $1.00

Unused Tichnor Quality Views linen card 63612, still in great condition. Grade: 1

Code: 10115113
Price: $2.00
Hoosier National Forest
All that’s on the back of this otherwise unused card is a large faux-handwritten (meaning: pre-printed) message: “If the U.S. Forest Service has its way, these magnificent lands in Hoosier National Forest will be left hacked & battered by timber companies’ clearcuts.” You might say technically this is not a postcard as it has no address area. Grade: 1

Code: 10115114
Price: $1.00
Fort Wayne, Aerial View of General Electric Works
Mailed in 1944, with stamp and readable postmark. Grade: 3

Price: $1.00
Indianapolis, South Grove Golf Course – Greetings
A plan announced in 2019 to close this course “within a few years” drew all sorts of reactions, not least of which was someone’s observation that “fewer people are playing golf”. Well, if golf courses close, that will definitely be the case. Unused, older Metrocraft card 44719, aging somewhat but still: Grade: 1

Code: 10115118
Price: $2.00
Spring Mill State Park, Munson House, Cordwainer Shop
We weren’t certain what a cordwainer was — despite the clarity of the photo — so we went to our trusty Wikipedia, which told us: “A cordwainer is a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer’s trade can be contrasted with the cobbler’s trade, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes.” So now we both know. Unused “local” card. Grade: 1

Code: 10115119
Price: $1.00
Fort Wayne, Foster Park, tulip time
Unused Dexter Press card 38225-B (F-151) from back in the day. Grade: 1

Code: 10115120
Price: $1.00
Michigan City, International Friendship Gardens, The Scotch Garden
Unused Curteich-Chicago older linen card 3C-H127, drilling down even further to describe this “Scotch Cradle Fence”. Aged appropriately. Grade: 1

Code: 10115121
Price: $2.00
Connersville, Fayette National Bank
We think the successor to this bank is now FCN Bank, but the postcard is generic and gives no real clues apart from the location. But the card is iconic of its genre of bank postcards for that era, and, as you see, is clearly dated. As a bonus, it was mailed in June 1910, with stamp, postmark, and a helpful rubber stamp of where it was supposed to go. Grade: 1

Code: 10115122
Price: $4.00
Connersville, Fayette National Bank (October, 1909)
We’ll hand it to the bank’s managers, they were persistent (and consistent) during that year. See our entries for other months. There’s the barest minimum of an address. Times were simpler, we suppose. Grade: 1

Code: 10115123
Price: $4.00
Cardinal
That’s it! Mailed in 2024, with three stamps and overriding postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10115124
Price: $1.00
