New York City, The Delmonico
From this iconic old and stately hotel, a card mailed in 1959 with stamp, most of the postmark, and additional small inked notation. There’s also a story: the hotel hosted Charles of the Ritz Training School for skin care and beauty, for which (we suppose) persons from all over paid tuition to attend. As part of their package, the students received cards like this that had a mimeographed message on the back, to be sent to invite their own customers to contact the students later to “hear about the new season’s fashions,” and so on. Got that? Grade: 3

New York City, Broadway Tabernacle
If you really want a good story, Google this one. Now the Broadway United Church of Christ, on an unused, very old and heavily aged Illustrated Postal Card Co. 96.88 with minor edge abrasion (age-appropriate) and the card itself was slightly mis-registered during printing. Grade: 3

Unused linen card with a profoundly detailed caption. Grade: 1

New York City, The Roosevelt, The Colonial Room
The hotel opened in 1924, so the unused B&W card must post-date that–and it’s still going strong, named after President Theodore Roosevelt. Did you know this was (according to the postcard) a Hilton Hotel? Grade: 1

Price: $4.00
Ellenville, Cherry Hill House
A thoughtful person (thank you, Bonnie!) gave us this information: “A Jewish immigrant, Phillip Cooper, owned Cherry Hill House hotel at 36 Frog Hollow Rd., Greenfield Park, about 5 miles north of Ellenville, NY (where he lived). It was originally a farm which Phillip bought with one or more of his half brothers. He later bought out his brothers and built up the hotel into a successful Kosher establishment. Phillip called the hotel “Cherry Hill” because the land had cherry trees on it. The hotel was owned by Phillip and his wife Sara’s brother (according to a hotel postcard, it was owned by “Trachtenberg & Cooper”). Today the hotel is an orthodox Jewish camp, called Camp Ohr Shraga.” Google that for contact information. But we have this unused card. Grade: 1
