New York City, Empire State Building from the Air
The postmark isn’t clear enough to tell us when this real-photo card was mailed, but it contains the printed notice “This post card purchased atop Empire State Building, N.Y.C.” and was mailed using one of the scarcer 1-1/2 cent stamps of the day. That will help you pin down the year. Grade: 2

Code: 10133135
Price: $14.00
New York City, Central Park, Menagerie Gate
Mailed in 1908 with stamp and full postmark, the sender’s brilliant handwriting is all in German, and (s)he gleefully ignored the directions about what could or could not be written in the space allowed. Grade: 3

Price: $9.00

Delaware Island, near Uncas-on-Lake George
We love the message on this card, mailed in 1922 with stamp and postmark: “Swell place for a honeymoon.” We think Kay Rose was rubbing it in, just a little bit, to Gertie. Grade: 3

Code: 10133146
Price: $3.00

Unused old Curteich-Chicago postcard 1179-29-N. Grade: 1

Code: 10133147
Price: $2.00
Plattsburgh, Moonlight on Lake Champlain
We like this card. Not that there’s anything really special about it, but the stamp is there, the 1917 postmark is there, and the message starts with “Will not write again … we autoed 100 miles” and in those days that was a big deal. Grade: 3

Code: 10133148
Price: $4.00

Price: $2.00
Fort Ticonderoga, Lake Champlain from the Battery
Mailed in 1925, the stamp and most of the postmark are there, together with the pencilled notation “Due 1 cent” so Carl really made Mary pay for that message. Grade: 3

Code: 10133151
Price: $3.00
Niagara Falls, A Glorious Sight of Horseshoe Falls
Wonderful and very old card of the Falls, so old that its designation is “Private Mailing Card” and not “Postcard,” with Congressional authorization date of May 19, 1898. The card itself was mailed in 1904, with stamp, postmark, and message you may see on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 10133152
Price: $6.00
Skaneateles Lake and Village
Not postally used, this Hugh C. Leighton card No. 1753 still has that extensive message on the front. The reverse is otherwise unmarked. Grade: 4

Code: 10133153
Price: $2.00
Adirondack Mountains, Lower Cascade Lake
Not postally used, but with written message and a part of the envelope it was mailed in is stuck to the reverse. This is Hugh C. Leighton card No. 921. Grade: 4

Code: 10133154
Price: $1.00
New York City, Grant’s Tomb and Palisades

Code: 10133155
Price: $2.00
New York City, The Flatiron by Night
Unarguably one of New York City’s most famous buildings captured on this card mailed in the early 1900s (indistinct postmark) with its one-cent stamp. Grade: 4

Code: 10133159
Price: $2.00
New York City, Sapphire Chinese Restaurant
Google readily tells us that this restaurant opened in 1981 but there’s no hint that it’s still there now. Among other little mysteries, the postcard says this restaurant was a winner of the Stanley Blacker Award for Pleasurable Dining, but when you put that into Google you get the idea the award didn’t really catch on. One more thing: their telephone number is now the fax number for an architectural firm. Anyway, the restaurant may be gone but the card is here, and unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10133160
Price: $4.00
Niagara Falls, American Falls reached from Goat Island

Not postally used but with extensive message on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 10133165

Unused Illustrated Post Card Co. card 145. Grade: 2

Considering how many Statue of Liberty cards are out there, and the condition of this one, only someone who has been searching for this specific one would probably want it. Grade: 5

Code: 10133169
Price: $0.50

Unused Progressive Publications card, but with minor staining and a name pencilled on the reverse. Grade: 4
