Michigan Lighthouses
The reverse caption of this card (mailed in 2012, $1.05 stamp and readable postmark) identifies these lighthouses as Holland Harbor, Tawas Point, Little Sable, Muskegon, Old Mission, and Point Betsie. We hope this satisfies the search engines (and you!). Grade: 1

Code: 10123055
Price: $2.00
Detroit, New Pontchartrain Hotel
It was New before 1908 when this card was mailed. The postmark is there but the stamp is gone and the card itself is quite battered. Grade: 5

“Aeroplane View” on a heavily handled unused card that had been folded vertically and has album remnants on the corners. Grade: 5

Code: 10123057
Price: $2.00
Detroit, Palmer Park, Light House
An unlikely place for a lighthouse, though it’s probably decorative … the card was mailed in 1915 and still has its stamp and full Detroit postmark. As for the handwriting in the message and address, well, kudos to those who had to read it. Grade: 3

Code: 10123058
Price: $5.00
Mackinaw City, Michilimackinac State Park and Lighthouse
As a reminder, we try to follow the spelling used on the postcards themselves. Two of these unused 1967 Hiawatha cards 46781-H (30433) are available. They say this lighthouse was built in 1872 and in operation until 1957, with “the possibility that a marine museum may some day open.” At least one internet source says the lighthouse went into operation in 1892, and that it did indeed reopen as a museum in 2004. Grades: 2

Price: $4.00

Code: 10123062
Price: $2.00
Clare, Cops & Doughnuts
One of the most endearing “local” American postcards we have in stock, this was mailed in 2012 with a $1.05 stamp, readable postmark, and full explanation from the writer on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 10123063
Price: $5.00

Price: $3.00
Isle Royale National Park, Rock of Ages Lighthouse
When this (unused National Park Concessions) postcard NPC-131 (S-40909-1) was printed, the lighthouse was manned by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, Wikipedia gives us a number of reasons why it was automated in 1978. There should have been a Stephen King movie made there. Grade: 1

Code: 10123066
Price: $4.00
Little Cape Sable Lighthouse
Unused Dexter Press card 2924-C, aging and with rounded corners. Grade: 2

Code: 10123067

Code: 10123069
Price: $4.00
Port Huron, Lighthouse
If the lighthouse has another name, this unused 1952 card 60653 from L.L. Cook doesn’t mention it. Heavily aged and fingermarked over the years. Grade: 3

Code: 10123070
Price: $3.00
Northpoint Point, Grand Traverse Lighthouse
Unused “local” card. Grade: 2

Code: 10123071
Price: $3.00

Unused, aging Dexter Press card 85936-B (SM 1) describes this facility as “inactive since 1958 but still stands as an interesting landmark.” Grade: 2

Mackinac Island, lighthouse and chapels
Unused Hiawatha card 36646-H (27474) from 1966. Grade: 1

Code: 10123079

Scenic Michigan
The true value of this card is if you are building a collection of (mailed) state maps and want a nice one with an unusual stamp (Global Forever) from Michigan. Mailed in 2013 with readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10123080
Price: $2.00
Port Huron, Light House
Even now, we wonder about people who go out of their way to spoil a card by writing over the text like this. Anyway, mailed in 1920 with parts of sending and receiving postmarks, and stamp. The card was forwarded, too. Grade: 4

Code: 10123081
Price: $0.50
