Suspension Bridge Connecting Cincinnati, Ohio, and Covington, KY
A quaint and succinct message on this card mailed in 1930 with stamp (a bit abraded) and full postmark. The card too has three other corner abrasions, likely from an album. Grade: 4

Code: 10136086
Price: $1.00
White Horse Club
Looks like this club might have been in Columbus. We’ve no Google evidence that it still exists, but the postcard does, and we’re showing you the front and back of it. Too bad that we’ll never know what the “special feature” was to be. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10136087
Price: $1.00
East Dayton, Lively Reunion
Here are the front and back of this unused card from 1932. Sure looks like it was for the extended Lively family, and we hope they had a “lively” time as well. Grade: 1

Code: 10136088
Price: $1.00
The Dayton Pump & Manufacturing Co.
This is a foldover card and we are showing you what one side of it looks like when unfolded. Flip it over and you would see an unaddressed, pre-printed stamped reply card on one part and a confirmation of order on the other part. Unused. By the way, this company made Rapidayton pumps. Rapidayton pumps ended after the company was changed in 1955 to the Tait Manufacturing Co. The assets of the Dayton Pump & Manufacturing Co. were used to create the Frank M. Tait Foundation, which sits today on North Main Street in Dayton. Grade: 1

Code: 10136089
Price: $2.00
Sandusky, The Jarecki Chemical Company
Unused reply card whose reverse has blanks to fill in telling the company where the customer lived and how many tons of (we’re thinking fertilizer) they would “probably” use or sell this Fall. Here’s something we found through a Google search: “The plant operated from 1887 until 1920 when it was sold to the Armour Fertilizer Co. (Armour ceased operations in Sandusky in the 1960s.) In the early 1900s, Gustav Jarecki, Jr. moved toCincinnatiwhere he established another branch of the company.” Grade: 1

Code: 10136090
Price: $2.00
Schryer, Game Farm Covered Bridge No. 35-23-27
Unused “local” card 143950, with serrated edges. The caption gives detailed information; internet provides this: “The Shryer Covered Bridge was built of multiple Kingpost truss construction in 1891; length of 65; was reconstructed in 1987 on the Shryer Egg Farm. The farm is located on Basil-Western Rd (Co. Rd 13) west of Baltimore off 256.” …and there are several ways of spelling Schryer. The card is aging but clean. Grade: 1

Code: 10136091
Price: $2.00
The Hizey-Visintine Covered Bridge
Unused card. According to the caption, “Originally built by James Buchanan in 1891, it was rebuilt by James Visintine in 1991.” Leading, of course, to two obvious questions if we cared to search: (1) Who is Hizey, and (2) why did Buchanan’s name disappear? Life has more critical questions than this, though. Grade: 1

Code: 10136092
Price: $2.00
Akron, Firestone Country Club, 18th Hole
Unused Dexter Press card 20389-C “showing player putting”. Grade: 1

Code: 10136093
Price: $2.00
Columbus, Ohio State Penitentiary
Mailed in 1954, this linen card (Curteich-Chicago 4A-H320) has a full postmark and — unusually — the writer used a block of four half-cent stamps. It’s nice. The card, maybe not the prison. Grade: 1

Code: 10136094
Price: $8.00
Dayton, Huffman Prairie Flying Field, 1905 Wright Flyer III Replica
So many proper nouns on the front and back of this card, mailed in 2021 with four different stamps and postmark. Some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 10136095
Price: $3.00
Columbus, Bull Pen at Ohio State Penitentiary
If you are into prison postcards, as we say from time to time, this one should be a good fit with you: unused, light scruffing around the edges, but the photo seems really to draw us in. The facility was decommissioned in the 1990s but still has tours and was used in part as a set for the film Shawshank Redemption. So, technically, you actually can put yourself in this picture. Grade: 2

Code: 10136096
Price: $6.00
Mount Pleasant, Fairfield County Race Track and Fairgrounds
Unused card with this bird’s-eye view of Lancaster/Mt. Pleasant’s race track, which we guess is mostly (or only?) used for harness racing and not to be confused with many other race tracks also called Lancaster. Anyway, the card makes it clear which one this is. Grade: 1

Code: 10136097
Price: $2.00
Ohio State Line
Not all states have such prominent (or postcard-friendly) state line signs. But this unused card gives the scene the prominence it deserves. Grade: 1

Code: 10136098
Price: $3.00
