Interstate Highway #40
Once upon a time, we had a “Boring” theme category, but we deleted it. If it were still there, this card would go into it. Unused Mike Roberts K-409 (C19327). At least they could have thrown in some roadkill. Grade: 1

Code: 10134103
Price: $0.50
Waynesville, Haywood County Hospital
We’re guessing this stately structure, or at least its facilities, were replaced by the Haywood Regional Medical Center, for which we enjoyed reading online reviews. The postcard? Linen, unused, Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Raleigh, The Capitol
Unused Dexter Press card DR-80337-B, abraded on both sides. Grade: 4

U.S. Highway 64 between Highlands and Franklin
Mailed in 1947 with stamp and postmark, this card somehow manages to look like the scene is in the middle of a forest fire, but that’s just how postcards looked, back in the day. Grade: 1

Code: 10134106
Price: $2.00
Mt. Airy, Floyd’s City Barber Shop
We unaccountably opened “barber shop postcards” as a theme category long ago, not yet realising how hard they were to find. Well, hard for us, anyway. Here’s a nice one, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10134107
Price: $2.00
Winston-Salem, R.J. Reynolds factory
“Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end.” Unused card issued by the company, and inviting visitors “each working day and night”. Grade: 1

Code: 10134108
Price: $1.00

Five points to you if you can recall which companies manufacture which brands now. American Tobacco essentially went out of business in 1994. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10134109
Price: $1.00
Kill Devil Hills, Wright Brothers National Memorial
What would they think now? Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10134111
Price: $0.50
Hickory Nut Gorge, Chimney Rock, Hickory Nut Falls
Unused, aging, linen-style Curteich-Chicago postcard 9A-H2477. Though there’s nothing particularly unusual about these Falls, we thought we would check the background and learned this from Wikipedia (condensed a bit): “Hickory Nut Falls flows on Fall Creek and is part of Chimney Rock Park, privately owned until May 2007, when North Carolina completed purchase of the park. Chimney Rock Park and Hickory Nut Gorge are being developed into a state park. Prior to 2007, the park and falls was owned by the Morse family. National attention came to the park and the falls when it was featured in the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans. The park was heavily featured at the end, and the final fight scene was filmed at the brink of the falls.” That little bit of history for you. Grade: 1

Code: 10134112
Price: $2.00
Roanoke Island, Elizabethian Garden
Unused, clean card from 1965. The Garden holds “rare and colorful lilies with antique sun-dial”. Grade: 1
