Morehead City
Modestly describing Morehead City as offering “the best seafood in America,” this 1968 card was mailed in the 1970s with a 10-cent stamp and part of the postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 10134045
Price: $1.50

Outer Banks, The Sea Horse
We suppose this card pops up all over the world with different printed locations, but this one happens to say it cpomes from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The sea horse should be happy to live there. Over here in Hong Kong, any of these poor little creatures would be snagged and immediately boiled up. Grade: 2

Code: 10134053
Price: $1.50
Outer Banks, Legend of the Sand Dollar
Unused card with a 13-cent stamp on it. Without the stamp, the card is Grade 1; because of the stamp, we need to downgrade it to Grade 3–reluctantly.

Code: 10134054
Price: $1.50

Linville, Linn Cove Viaduct
Unusually, this card was mailed in Malaysia (definitely not North Carolina!) in the early 2000s, with stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10134058
Price: $1.50

Code: 10134066
Price: $2.00
Blue Ridge Parkway, Sky-Top Drive
We’re not certain, but we wonder if the name of this road has been changed to Skyline Drive? Anyway, this is an unused “local” linen card G-218. Grade: 3

Code: 10134067
Price: $3.00
Waynesville, Blue Ridge Parkway

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Belk Hall
This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 2012 with $1 stamp and (unusually) fully readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10134071

Code: 10134074
Price: $1.00
Buxton, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Some special things about this lighthouse postcard: first, the caption identifies the light as the “Tallest Lighthouse structure in America”. At somewhere between 200-207′, this is still true now. Second, the card was mailed (with address, but no message) using a block of four different 2-cent “National Parks Centennial” stamps representing Cape Hatteras. Third, a large, clear Buxton postmark. This card therefore was a predecessor in style to today’s Maximum Cards, and would be a jewel in any specialty collection. Grade: 1

Code: 10134075
Price: $16.00
Cape Lookout Lighthouse
Artwork by Edwin Voorhees on this unused card. Grade: 2

Code: 10134076

Code: 10134078
Price: $3.00
Ocracoke/Okracoke Lighthouse
Before you get confused, we just want to tell you we have two mailed cards, with the same photo on the front but with different reverses. Both are Plastichrome. One, mailed in 1969 with 5-cent stamp and Manteo postmark, correctly spells the name of the island (and the lighthouse) as “Ocracoke” (Grade: 1, $4). The other was mailed in 1961 with a 4-cent stamp and indistinct postmark, less of a caption, but the spelling is “Okracoke” (Grade: 2, $5).

Code: 10134079
Price: $4.00
Ocracoke Island, Ocracoke Lighthouse
No spelling problems on this unused Dexter Press card 57269-C, dated 1969, whose caption reveals that this 1823 lighthouse is “the second oldest in use on the Atlantic coast,” and also introduced the word “yaupon” to our vocabulary. Grade: 1

Code: 10134080
Price: $4.00
Smith Island, Cape Fear Lighthouse
If you go to the search engine for more information, you may come out of that exercise wishing you hadn’t. That was our reaction. The card itself is easier to describe: unused Dexter Press 32120-C, dated 1968. Grade: 1

Code: 10134081
Price: $6.00
Lighthouse Keeper’s Quarters
This unused Plastichrome card P79343 has top and bottom perforated edges, indicating it had been part of a set. The caption only indicates “The Outer Banks of North Carolina” as the location, and tells us that these living quarters had become the Museum of the Sea. The card is starting to age. Grade: 2

Code: 10134082
Price: $3.00
Highway Crossing Fontana Dam
On an unused card dated 1956, at the time this was “the highest dam in Eastern America and is one of the largest in the world.” We didn’t know that. Minor smudging on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 10134083
Price: $2.00
Bodie Island Lighthouse, The Outer Banks of North Carolina
The Lighthouse is now part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park, and the former Keeper’s Lodging was turned into a museum. Unused Plastichrome card P81362, just beginning to age. Grade: 2

Code: 10134084
Price: $3.00
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
The full caption title reads: Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina’s Outer Banks,” and goes on to explain that this is/was the only lighthouse owned by the National Park Service, built in 1870, and at 208′ high, the tallest in the U.S.A. Not certain if all of that is true now, but the caption also points out that “in the foreground are the remains of the second Cape Hatteras lighthouse.” This unused Dexter Press card is dated 1969, aging, and has a small abrasion on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10134085
Price: $4.00
The Legend of Nags Head
What an odd little card, like a tiny diorama, with a colourful caption. Unused, Plastichrome card P66191, suitable as a lighthouse postcard variant. Grade: 1

Price: $4.00
Waterrock Knob
It’s on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Unused but stained Mike Roberts card C12664. Grade: 3
