Code: 10133303
Price: $1.00
Chenango River
Many–not all–of us would need to look up to see where this river is, especially as the very old, unused, undivided back card doesn’t say. But now we know. Grade: 1

“The Bridge” – From the Bear Mountain Bridge Road, along the Hudson River
Unused card with a very long caption, telling us that (at that time) this was “the longest single span Bridge in the world”, an honour now possibly held by the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge in Japan. There’s a trademark “chop” in the postage area, apparently placed there at the time of printing. Grade: 1

New York City, The Verrazana (sic) – Narrows Bridge
We have two unused copies of this card, distinctive for once misspelling the bridge’s name (it should be Verrazano), and also for calling it the “world’s longest suspension bridge,” which may now be the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, Japan, spanning the Akashi Strait, and connecting the city of Kobe and Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture. At the time, the claim was no doubt true. Grades: 1
