Greetings from Bangor, Lovers Leap
We happen to like cards like this for several reasons, foremost being: personality. The picture, the message, the age … and for this entry, here are the details. Mailed in 1906 with stamp, and sending/receiving office postmarks; undivided back. Despite some abrasions, mostly on the reverse, a nice card. It also proves there were postcard exchanges as a hobby more than 100 years ago. Grade: 3

Code: 10120105
Price: $3.00
Portland, Post Office
Unused, linen, Dexter Press card 25843 (13). Two of these are available. Grades: 2

Code: 10120106

Code: 10120107
Price: $2.00
Portland, The Bridge, Deerings Oaks
Still a public park in Portland, ranked #41 of 64 attractions by Tripadvisor. Are there really 40 better ways to spend your time? We don’t know, we’ve not been to either the park or the city. But the card is in good shape for its age: mailed in 1915 with stamp, postmark, and the most minor edge abrasions. It seems hardly aged, and after some consideration: Grade: 1

Code: 10120108
Price: $2.00
Portland, The Front Hall, Longfellow’s Old Home
Unused “Phostint” card 13841, with basically the same description as the front caption inked into the message area. Grade: 4

Code: 10120110

Price: $1.00
Bangor, Center Park
If you come from Bangor, or live in Bangor, you should consider this card — mailed in 1910, with 1-cent stamp and, unusually, two different types of Bangor postmarks. Some ink transfer on the front, and age abrasions, but quintessentially Bangor. Grade: 3

Code: 10120113
Price: $6.00
Augusta, State Capitol
Maine’s state capitol building on a card mailed in 1910 with stamp and postmark, as part of a postcard exchange. Grade: 2

Bethel, Bethaven Inn
As we are wont to do, we wanted to see if this inn still existed, so we Googled it. The only Bethaven Inn that comes up for the first several entries is the one in Meadville, PA, which is apparently very good but not the one on our unused card. The caption on the reverse is an absolute masterpiece of Maine understatement. Grade: 1

Code: 10120115
Price: $3.00
In The State of Maine – Sportsmen’s Paradise
Mabel mailed this linen card to La Verna in 1954 with a 2-cent stamp (and postmark), asking for a map card of Utah in return. She stuck her address on a little label on the reverse. We very much hope she finally did receive that Utah map. Grade: 4

Code: 10120116

Code: 10120118
Price: $3.00

Unused card, aging. Lillian Nordica wore this costume, now on display at the Nordica Homestead Museum. Grade: 2

Code: 10120119
Price: $0.50
Portland, The Bridge, Orr’s Island

Code: 10120120
Price: $1.00
