New Orleans, Antoine’s Restaurant
Long before Katrina, and most likely long after, is Antoine’s, a local landmark. This H.S. Crocker Mirro-Krome card GLR-425 dates from the 1960s, and though it’s aged a bit, it’s still very nice. Grade: 2

Code: 10119001
Price: $4.00
New Orleans, St. Louis Hotel, slave block
A desirable card of an undesirable time. This card appears in several historical reference books. The example we have here is unused, from the early 1900s, C.T. American Art #A-12864. Wonderful condition. Grade: 1

Code: 10119002
Price: $8.00
New Orleans, Bourbon Street, French Quarter
It’s not so much what the card shows, as what was done to it. It was mailed from Key West (two stamps) in February 1986 to a Malaysian address, but wound up in Minneapolis–which put the postmark that actually cancelled the stamps. From there it went on to Malaysia. TMI. Grade: 3

Code: 10119003
Price: $3.00
New Orleans, Bourbon Street, comic
More semi-comic than comic; the writer (in 1994) gave her unequivocal opinion of pre-Katrina New Orleans. Two 29-cent stamps and a partial Minnesota postmark. One abrasion on lower right corner. Grade: 3

Code: 10119004
Price: $2.00
New Orleans, Greetings
Mailed in 1996 with two 32-cent stamps, one of Utah 1896 and the other of the flag. Full New Orleans postmark. There’s a postal service small rubber stamp on the front–you can see it in the photo. Grade: 3

Code: 10119005
Price: $2.00
New Orleans, Bourbon Street
Iconic 1960s view. Unused Crocker card GLR-437, faithfully describing this area of the French Quarter as “Crazy Mixed-up Bourbon Street.” Grade: 2

Code: 10119007
Price: $3.00
New Orleans, aerial view
Unused Crocker card GLR-386, also from the 1960s. This aerial view of The “Crescent City” will live in history, at least. Grade: 2

Code: 10119008
Price: $3.00
New Orleans, Canal Street at night
Unused Crocker card GLR-374. Among other things, it tells you that the street is 171 feet across. How about that? Grade: 1

Code: 10119009
Price: $2.00
Lake Ponchartrain Causeway
An extraordinary photo in its simplicity. Unused Crocker card GLR-363 from the 1960s. The Causeway was billed as the world’s longest bridge, at 23.83 miles, with eight miles of the bridge out of the sight of land. Grade: 1

Code: 10119011
Price: $2.00
Lake Charles, Court House and Confederate Monument
Rather nice of its kind, apart from some postmark transfer on the front of the card. Reverse has a full postmark from 1941, and a one-cent stamp. Good card overall. Grade: 2

Code: 10119012
Price: $5.00
Many, Hodges Gardens
Maybe not “many” people will have a postcard from a town called “Many” but here it is, complete with full 1971 postmark and six-cent stamp. Grade: 1

Code: 10119013
Price: $2.50
New Orleans, Royal Street Promenade
Though it looks like someone took a bite out of the upper left edge, that is just one of the endearing little flaws on this card with two serrated edges only, mailed with a 15-cent stamp in 1978 with full New Orleans postmark. There is some postmark smudging on the front (you can see), along with USPS machine marks. Grade: 4

Code: 10119014
Price: $1.50
New Orleans, Court of the Two Sisters
We won’t open a new category for cards that actually say “wish you were here,” but in this case a soldier did say so to his lady friend back home. The word “Free” is written over the postage area, over which the 1942 postmark duly appears. A nice representation of restaurant postcards. Grade: 1

Code: 10119015
Price: $9.00
Louisiana, c.1971-74 (Eggleston)
It’s Louisiana as represented in an artistic photo by William Eggleston, and mailed from San Diego. There’s a 98-cent stamp, blue airmail sticker affixed, and full postmark along with USPS barcoding on bottom reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 10119016
Price: $2.00
Hahnville, Home Place Plantation
Atmospheric, newer (2010) card, 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″, mailed with several stamps and a few abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10119017
Price: $2.00
Howdy! From Louisiana
What would the 1950s have been like without Laff-Gram postcards? And was there ever a Laff-Gram card that actually tied in to the place where it was bought? Well, we have several, scattered through the site, and hope you enjoy them. Three of these 200-C unused versions from 1954 are available. Grades: 1

Code: 10119018
Price: $2.00
