Fort Riley, Old Trooper Monument and Chief’s grave
Unused Donna Brinkman card 108162. Some explanation: the monument was dedicated in 1961 and honors the U.S. Cavalry. The grave, however, is that of Chief, the horse foaled in 1932, died 1968, and the last cavalry mount on U.S. Army rolls. Whew. Grade: 2

German lutheran Concordie Church (sic)
Forgive us if we have erred, but this unused card has no attribution and doesn’t say where the church is. Someone (not us) has pencilled “Kansas” on the reverse; Google didn’t really help, this time.

What strikes us most about this card, mailed in 1919 with stamp and blurred postmark, is how modern it looks by today’s standards. Well, maybe not the diving board, but the rest of it. Creasing. Grade: 3
