Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Unused card K-2844 from Delaware Candy & Tobacco Service (let’s assume at least that name has been changed by now, if not more) in the 1960s. At the time, the card says this bridge was the third longest in the world. Now? Not sure. Grade: 1

Code: 10121001
Price: $1.00
Annapolis, Main Street
Larger (4-5/8″ x 6-3/4″) card, mailed in 1999 to Hong Kong using an affixed postage meter label. The front looks OK apart from one dent; the reverse is frankly a mess but the writer had fun preparing it. Grade: 5

Code: 10121002
Price: $1.00

Aberdeen Proving Ground
Unused card of the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School, with Chesapeake Bay visible in the background.

Baltimore, R. McGill Mackall painting
Unused H.S. Crocker card, unnumbered.
