    Unused card dated 1965, an aerial view showing “America’s second oldest lighthouse, Barnegat, which was built in 1856-58 by Lt. General George Meade.”  This claim is at odds with other lighthouses (and their postcards) in our website, but we don’t make these things up.  Grade: 1

  • Sea Girt Lighthouse and Public Library

    Unused card with artwork by Mabel T. Burr.  In light of the recent (as we type this) damage from Hurricane Sandy, the caption on this older card is prophetic:  “Complete washouts of the beach in the past have brought the waves up to the very foundations of the building.”  The lighthouse itself dates from 1896 and endured only minor damage during Sandy.  Grade: 2

  • Sandy Hook, lighthouse

    Unused card with watercolor by Mabel T. Burr.  Other lighthouses much younger than this (according to captions on the postcards) claim to be older.  We could do more research, but if lighthouses are your hobby, you know better than we do.  This one might really be one of the oldest, because as the caption says it was “built 1764 from the proceeds of a lottery, is 103 ft. tall and … has shone virtually without interruption for the last 200 years”.  Some aging, but still:  Grade: 1.
