Millbury, Torrey home and Taft vacation house
Arguably one of the most obscure Presidential postcards you’ll ever find, but that makes it even better: divided-back card mailed in 1910, with stamp and most of a postmark, the message makes it apparent that the writer was the niece of Delia C. Torrey, whose home had been President Taft’s vacation destination. The writer adds a note: “He called to see Aunt Delia”. So … only four degrees of separation between you (with the postcard) and Taft. Grade: 1

Code: 10122229
Price: $6.00

Salem, Old Hathaway House, Turner Street
We were going to add some information about this house — which has its origins apparently in literary history — but Googling led to our complete confusion, so we’ll leave it to you. Meanwhile, the unused linen Tichnor Quality Views card 81200 is in excellent shape. Grade: 1

Code: 10122239
Price: $4.00
Boston Common and State House
In August of 1941, Sumiko wrote to Tatsuo (in English), and addressed the card but there’s no evidence it was postally used. Little did they know what was to come. Tape remnants appear twice on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 10122240
Price: $4.00
Plymouth, Manomet, Fresh Pond
It’s a pond, OK? But we were curious, as we sometimes are, so we went to Wikipedia and learned that “Fresh Pond is a 62-acre pond in the Manomet section of Plymouth … The average depth is 12 feet and the maximum depth is 30 feet.” Other online sources say the pond covers 66 acres, and is “natural,” which is nice to know. Curiosity satisfied, we can now tell you this is an unused linen-style Tichnor Quality Views card 76422 in great condition. Thanks for reading! Grade: 1

Code: 10122241
Price: $3.00
Woburn, Count Rumford (Benj. Thompson) Monument
This is one of those postcards where we feel obliged to tell you who’s who. Sir Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, was an American-born British physicist and inventor whose challenges to established physical theory were part of the 19th-century revolution in thermodynamics. (He was born in Woburn in 1753.) (No, we didn’t know either.) Unused old, undivided back card. Grade: 1

Code: 10122242
Price: $3.00
Cape Cod, Getting Wet
Though we might not usually associate Cape Cod with surfing, devotees will take their waves where they can get them. This card was mailed in 1970 — stamp and clear postmark are there, along with a cute message. Grade: 1

Code: 10122243
Price: $3.00
Woods Hole, Nobska Light
Mailed in 1984 with 28-cent Olympics stamp, and complete postmark. A nice example of a lighthouse postcard. Grade: 1

Do you still love me?
That’s the card’s caption, not ours. Mailed in 1984, with 28-cent Olympics stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10122245T
Price: $1.00
Cape Cod, Whale Watching
It’s a humpback whale, on this card mailed in 1984 with a 28-cent Olympics stamp and postmark. Grade 1

Code: 10122246T
Price: $2.00
Quincy, Birthplaces of two presidents
As the caption reveals, U.S. president John Quincy Adams was born in the house on the left, and John Adams in the one on the right. This is an old card, not postally used but with a long-ago message about card swaps on the reverse. Grade: 3
