George Washington Bridge (and Little Red Lighthouse)
This unused and somewhat aging Dexter Press card 60203-B gave us a couple of problems. For one thing, the reverse caption is all about the bridge and doesn’t mention the lighthouse at all. For another, the caption just says the bridge spans the Hudson River between Fort Lee (New Jersey) and New York City. So we are putting the card into “New York” and “Bridges” and “Lighthouses” and hoping for the best, because we know it’s the Little Red Lighthouse (Jeffrey’s Hook Light). Grade: 2

Code: 10133228
Price: $3.00
New York City, Central Park, The Obelisk
This structure really has a history, and what the caption may not tell you, Wikipedia does (condensed here): Cleopatra’s Needle is one of three similarly named Egyptian obelisks. It was erected in Central Park on February 22, 1881, secured in 1877 by judge Elbert E. Farman, the US Consul General at Cairo, as a gift from the Khedive for the US remaining neutral as European powers – France and Britain – maneuvered to secure control of the Egyptian government. Made of red granite, the obelisk stands 21m (69 ft) high and is inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis in 1475 BC. Inscriptions were added about 200 years later by Ramesses II. The obelisks were moved to Alexandria and set up in the Caesareum – a temple built by Cleopatra in honor of Mark Antony or Julius Caesar – by the Romans in 12 BC, during the reign of Augustus, but were toppled some time later. This had the fortuitous effect of burying their faces and so preserving most of the hieroglyphs from the effects of weathering.” We’ve included all this because there’s a good chance you walk past this every day and didn’t have any idea. Unused old card. Grade: 1

Code: 10133229
Price: $4.00
I (heart) NY, Brooklyn Bridge
Unused Dexter Press/Gray Line card DT-91349-C with perforated right edge, indicating that it had been part of a set. Did you know that when the bridge was completed in 1883, it charged one penny toll to cross? Deflation! Grade: 2

Code: 10133237
Price: $3.00
Albany, The Plaza, Old Post Office and State Capitol
This card was mailed in 1960, with 3-cent stamp and full Albany postmark. But there’s a twist: the writer forgot to put any address, so the Post Office placed their large purple “Returned to Writer” chop in that space, and returned it … but to whom? The writer didn’t put her own address. Was Albany so small in 1960 that the Post Office knew who “Peggy” was? We’ll never know. Grade: 2

Code: 10133238
Price: $4.00

NYPD Highway patrol patrolling midtown Manhattan

Code: 10133246
Price: $1.00
New York state map and features
A card for many categories, and depending on which one you are browsing right now, we’ll leave it to you to find (like Waldo) the feature you are looking for. Mailed in 2013 with three stamps and partial postmark and some USPS processing abrasion on the reverse. Orange postal barcoding on the front. Grade: 3

New York City, Empire State Building
At the time this real-photo card was printed, “World’s tallest structure.” Mailed in 1945, with stamp and full postmark, the postcard bears the printed legend “This post card purchased atop Empire State Building, N.Y.C.” A fine example, well worth the price. Grade: 1

Code: 10133250
Price: $19.00
Statue of Liberty
This card would only suit persons trying to amass as many different views of Liberty as possible. Mailed from Canada (not New York) in 2013 with lots of abrasion on the front, and three stamps and postmark on the back. Grade: 5

Price: $0.50
Rochester, Strasenburgh Planetarium, Astro-Screen

Code: 10133252
Price: $1.00
Erie Canal derailment
This unused card dated 1979 from William Gordon reproduces a photo from 1917 of a trolley derailment. The caption is a bit muddled in text but we get the point. Grade: 1

Code: 10133253
Price: $1.00
New York City, Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building
Probably late 1950s or early 1960s (we’re not sure, the view doesn’t change much) unused card. Grade: 1

Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10133255
