Code: 10120041
Price: $2.00
A Maine Potato
Mailed in 1955. Postmark is there, but the stamp isn’t. Strangely (considering the card does look like it was mailed) there is no sign of any address or message. Grade: 5

Code: 10120042
Price: $0.50
Signpost
Mailed in 2012 with two stamps, mostly legible postmark, and the usual USPS processing abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10120043
Price: $1.00
Aroostook Maine Potatoes
In 1913, mother wrote to her far-away son, praising the potatoes and clearly missing him. Stamp is there, and reasonably clear postmark. Some creasing and postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 10120044
Price: $3.00
Potato – The Kind we Raise in Maine
Unused Curteich-Chicago linen card 4A-H1523. Grade: 2

Code: 10120045

Portland, Fountain, Deering Oaks
The front of this card is OK but the reverse had been pasted into an album and disqualifies the card as anything other than Grade: 5

Code: 10120046
Price: $0.50
Portland, The “Maine and Missouri” off Fort Scammel
The front of this card is OK but the reverse had been pasted into an album and disqualifies the card as anything other than Grade: 5

Fort Scammel, Portland Harbor
The front of this card is OK but the reverse had been pasted into an album and disqualifies the card as anything other than Grade: 5

Code: 10120048
Price: $0.50
Portland, The Oaks
In 1912, judging from the two postmarks, it only took half a day for this card to travel from Portland to Jamaica, New York. So what’s up with 2012? Stamp is also there. Grade: 2

Code: 10120049
Price: $3.00
Mt. Desert Island, Bass Harbor Light
Two of these unused Mike Roberts cards C15993 (and ME1333A) are available. The fronts are the same, but these come from different print runs: one before and one after ZIP codes were introduced. Captions are the same, though, and so are the cards’ conditions (Grades: 1, $3).

Code: 10120050
Price: $3.00
York Beach, Nubble Light
We do have quite a few different versions of this lighthouse postcard, from all perspectives–this one being distant. The unused Dexter Press card 71044-C (and M-1243) has serrated edges and calls Nubble Light “one of the most popular scenic attractions on the Maine coast,” which accounts for the large variety of postcards! Grade: 1

Code: 10120051
Price: $3.00
Portland Head Light
Unused Dexter Press card 32064-C (and M-1733), and among other lighthouses’ “firsts,” this one was the “first established beaconlight erected by the United States in 1791”. Serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 10120052
Price: $3.00
Spruce Head, White Head Light from Water
Unused, heavily aged Hugh C. Leighton Co. card 10109, abrasion on the front and pencil notation dating the card in 1910 on the reverse. Grade: 5

Code: 10120056
Price: $4.00
Portland Headlight Night Scene
Mailed from Portland in 1939 with stamp and full postmark, linen Atlantic Post Card 22115N. Among other lighthouse “firsts,” this “is one of the first lighthouses in the country, built during the term of President Geo. Washington and first lighted in 1791.” Yes, that’s old. Grade: 2

Code: 10120057
Price: $6.00
Nubble Light at Night, York Beach
Unused, linen Tichnor Quality Views card 67237, aged and mottling. Grade: 3

Code: 10120059
Price: $3.00
Pemaquid, Pemaquid Light
What’s nice about this card, mailed in 1961, is the full, clear postmark from Boothbay Harbor–where there is (surprise!) a different lighthouse. Three-cent stamp. Grade: 1

Code: 10120060
Price: $4.00
York, Cape Neddick (The Nubble) Light
Unused Mike Roberts card C25076 (and ME1488). Grade: 1

Code: 10120061
Price: $3.00
York Beach, Nubble Light
With all due respect to Nubble Light, postcards of it are beginning to feel like those of the White House or the Golden Gate Bridge: they look the same. But we respect that there are always minor differences–wave action, weather, atmosphere, always something. This card has serrated edges, Dexter Press M-1238, and was mailed in 1982 with a 13-cent stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10120062
Price: $3.00
Mt. Desert Island, Bass Harbor Head Light
Mailed in 1961 with two different stamps and full Bucksport postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10120063

Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10120067
Price: $4.00
Portland Head Light
Unused Dexter Press card 32064-C (and M-1733), serrated edges. Its lighthouse “first”: “first established beaconlight erected by the United States in 1791”. Grade: 1

Code: 10120068
Price: $3.00
Portland Harbor, Spring Point Light
We have two of these cards, and as usual with older postcards we need to explain the differences carefully. One (in the scan) has all four corners intact. It was definitely mailed, and has two different same-day 1906 postmarks from different locations, but no stamp–and no sign there ever was one. There is some kind of pink staining on the reverse, less so on the front (Grade: 4, $6). The other (not pictured) has bits of two corners missing, and was mailed in 1908 with stamp and full Boston postmark. The writer compares this to Bug Light in Boston harbor (Grade: 4, $4).

Code: 10120069
Price: $6.00
Arrowsic, Squirrel Point Light Station
Unused card. Grade: 2

Code: 10120070
Price: $4.00
West Quoddy Light
Unused Dexter Press card 21343-B (and M-3421), serrated edges. Though not a “first”, this lighthouse’s claim to fame is that it is “On the most easterly point of land in the United States.” Grade: 1

Code: 10120071
Price: $3.00
West Quoddy Head Light
Two unused cards are available. The fronts are identical. The reverse of one (Grade: 1, $3) is a little brighter and less-aged than the reverse of the other (Grade: 2, $2).

Code: 10120072
Price: $3.00
Bar Harbor, Egg Rock Light
Mailed in 1956, this linen card has 2-cent stamp and Hulls Cove postmark. Lots of handling and aging. Grade: 3

Code: 10120073
Price: $4.00
Historic Lighthouses of Maine
Mailed from neighboring Canada (with Canadian stamp and postmark, of course), this card shows Nubble, Portland Head, and West Quoddy Head Lights in contemporary views. Compare these with older cards of the same structures. Grade: 3

Code: 10120074
Price: $5.00

Code: 10120078

Camden, Curtis Island Light
With cards like this, you might wonder: is that the best photo they could get? Couldn’t they get any closer? But it is what it is, an unused Dexter Press card 32039-C (and M-2430) with serrated edges. Grade: 2

Code: 10120079
Price: $3.00
