  • South from Table Rock

    This ancient, unused real photo card gives no further clues as to where this is, but based on the requirement for a one-cent stamp, it’s probably in the USA.  Grade: 2

    It’s an unused, real-photo vintage postcard; and no, we have no idea where it was or even what it is.  Dormitory?  Shophouses?  Grade: 2

    It helps if you’re from the USA to understand all the little digs here.  But if you’re not, don’t worry, the caption spells it all out for you.  Unused.  Grade: 1

  • Hillbilly Livin’ – Home Improvement

    It helps if you’re from the USA to understand all the little digs here.  But if you’re not, don’t worry, the caption spells it all out for you.  As and when we open an “outhouse” category, this card will be deep into it.  Unused.  Grade: 1

  • Bonneville Dam

    Unused vintage Mike Roberts card C222.  As the dam spans the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington, we’re not favouring either state.  Grade: 1

    Price: $1.00

  • Sunset on The Mississippi

    If we wanted to Google “Bridges crossing the Mississippi River” we would certainly learn which one this is.  The unused card however chooses not to divulge.  Grade: 1

  • Discovery of Gold – 1848

    We know this represents California but we’ve no idea what or where the card came from, most likely in the 1970s because someone wrote their name and date on the back, along with “Wax Museum”.  Grade: 5

    Code: 10100067

    Price: $0.50

  • Francis (sic) Willard School

    It’s an unused, real-photo card, very old, with her name misspelled, and no other caption.  There are lots of Frances Willard Schools in the USA–we even attended one of them, long ago–though not, we think, this one.  Grade: 3

    Code: 10100072

  • Lake

    It’s possible this card does say where the lake is:  there’s a tiny red caption stretching along the bottom front edge, but it blends in so well, we can’t read it.  The card was mailed in 1912, with stamp and Iowa postmark.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10100074

    Price: $0.50

  • Winter in the Rockies

    “The Rockies” narrows down the location, but we won’t know for sure exactly where.  What we do know is that this card was mailed in 1907; has most of the postmarks from both sending and receiving locations; and its stamp.  The card is extremely heavily aged.  Grade: 4

    Code: 10100075

    Price: $0.50

  • Lake Superior Circle Route

    Mailed in 2021, this card has four different stamps (three uncancelled) and some postmark transfer on the front.  One might think of shipping more than roads, but there it is.  Grade: 2

  • Rhododendron in bloom

    Norfolk & Western Railway provided the photo for this unused Plastichrome card P23873, whose caption clearly states the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway was still being built.  So you know this is an older card … Grade: 1

  • Greetings from the Amish Country

    Unused “local” card showing these three boys during the wheat harvest.  The card was published in Pennsylvania, where many Amish persons live, but the caption does not specifically say so.  Small smudge on the bottom reverse.  Grade: 2

    Price: $3.00

    Greetings from the Amish Country
  • Out Where The West Begins

    Our website has (or had) a few cards with this poem by Arthur Chapman, each one having different graphics.  So it gets around.  Somewhere in this world, someone is trying to collect them all.  Good luck!  Unused Curteich-Chicago C.T. American Art card 88021-N.  Grade: 1

  • Wild Azaleas in the Beautiful Ozarks

    Unused old linen card not specifying the exact location (though published in Missouri), so we can safely assume azaleas can be found in more than one state.  Grade: 1

    Price: $1.00

  • The Beautiful Ohio

    Unused Dexter Press card 54020-B (W.V. #1) whose caption says a lot about the Ohio River but not where the photo was taken.  But that Dexter Press secondary reference number more or less gives the secret away.  Grade: 1

    Code: 10100082

    Price: $1.00

  • Hoover (Boulder) Dam

    This unused Mike Roberts card C628 gives both of the dam’s names but, as usual, we are never certain which state should get credit for it.  Then called the “highest in the world, 727 feet” in the caption, Wikipedia tells us the honour now goes elsewhere:  “Currently, the tallest dam in the world is Nurek Dam on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan. It is 984 feet (300 meters) tall. Hoover Dam is 726.4 feet (221.3 meters) tall”.  Awww …  Grade: 1

  • The Desert is Alive

    The caption on this unused Scenic Art card 342G refers to the desert’s “grotesque plant life,” with which we gently disagree.  Grade: 1

    Price: $1.00

  • Three-cent official

    We’re old enough to remember when these were common, but now what we have is an unused example that is stained on the bottom left corner; and, sometime along the way, some other vendor thought it was a good idea to write the price in ink on the upper left.  We would never, ever do that.  Grade: 4

    Code: 10100086

  • Building in Kansas, maybe

    There’s no caption or identification.  Someone was on a train in Newton, Kansas, and wanted to send this card to someone in Wichita during the short transit stop.  So they did.  The stamp is long gone; the remainder of the special postmark refers to “Trans Office PTS New…” (in 1962), and there’s another rubber stamp that says “Train Postoffice”.  That’s all we know!  Grade: 5
