Cape Meares Light House, Oregon Coast
The caption writer on this unused Curteichcolor card 2DK-1728 (and PC.163) was running out of ideas, but it’s a distinctive and unusual photo. Grade: 1

Code: 10138042
Price: $4.00

Code: 10138044
Price: $3.00
Oregon Sawmill
Unused Plastichrome postcard P32635 (K3), very heavily aged and mottled on the reverse. The caption explains everything, which helps. Grade: 4

Code: 10138045
Price: $1.00
Cape Blanco Light House, Oregon Coast
Unused Curteichcolor card 7DK-1570 (and PC.129B). Grade: 1

Code: 10138046
Price: $4.00
Glimpse of an Oregon Forest
The caption appears at the bottom front of the card: hard to see, but it’s there. As for the card itself, mailed in 1909 with stamp and full sending/receiving office postmarks. A nice example of a very old vintage postcard. Grade: 2

Code: 10138047
Price: $4.00
Logging in Oregon
Two unused Plastichrome cards P6230B (K-11) of one log of 14,000 board feet passing between two railroad flatcars. Grades: 1

Code: 10138048
Price: $2.00
Giant Fir Log
This photo has been used by at least four different postcard publishers (including Dexter Press #59052), and we know this because we have examples from all of them, ten cards in total. The colours vary slightly according to print run. Captions are the same except for one thing: some say “Oregon” only, while others say “Oregon and Washington.” One of our cards was mailed in 1958, with three-cent stamp and postmark (Grade: 1, $2) and all the others are unused Grades 1 or 2 ($1).

Code: 10138049
Price: $1.00
Greetings from Oregon
Unused but aging E.C. Kropp large-letter card 10562-P49, with each of the six sites identified in the reverse caption. Grade: 2

Code: 10138050
Price: $4.00
Heceta in Head, Arrow Point & Light
The writer of this card–mailed in 1908 with stamp and full postmark–had so much to say. Apart from the address, the reverse is full of message everywhere, and as you can see, on to the front as well. Though the lighthouse takes second place to all the message, the card in all represents this little window into the past. Grade: 4

Code: 10138051
Price: $4.00
Heceta in Head, Arrow Point & Light (faded)
Other than the message (a different sender, same year–1908), this card on the reverse is printed the same as 10138051 but the front photo is so completely different in colour that we list them separately. We don’t know if this was the result of different print runs, or fading, or what. Grade: 3

Code: 10138052
Price: $4.00
Cape Blanco Lighthouse
Unused card of this lighthouse built in 1870. A date is inked on the upper left reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10138053
Price: $2.00
Cape Foulweather Light House, view from Pacific Ocean
Classic, vintage lighthouse postcard mailed in 1911 with stamp and postmark and happy message. We will forever wonder whether the writer was elated because (s)he had come down to 120 pounds or finally gone up to that weight. Grade: 3

Code: 10138054
Price: $6.00
Newport, Cape Foulweather
Mailed in 1914 with “Balboa” stamp and full Portland postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10138055
Price: $8.00
Eugene Loan & Savings Bank, October 1910 calendar
Mailed in 1910 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 10138056
Price: $5.00
Tillamook Head Lighthouse – Oregon Coast
We’re not sure what happened here, but the card has a 3-cent “Ordinance of 1787” commemorative stamp with part of a postmark, but nothing else handwritten on the reverse. Significant fading on the reverse as well. Front is fine. Grade: 4

Code: 10138057
Price: $2.00
Tillamook Lighthouse
The name of the town is written on the front of this otherwise unused card. Something we’ve not seen before: taking up more than half of the message section, there is a large silver panel that reminds us of lottery tickets where one might “scratch and win”. This is definitely not a lottery ticket, and nobody has tried to scratch it off–yet. To be safe, we grade this: Grade: 5

Code: 10138058
Price: $2.00
Tillamook Rock and Lighthouse
Not postally used, but with address written in, and sent or handed over by a laconic “Papa”. Grade: 4

Code: 10138059
Price: $3.00
Gillnetting – Columbia River
This B&W card from the Portland Chamber of Commerce was not postally used but has a long message occupying the entire reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 10138060
Price: $1.00
Yaquina Light House, Yaquina Head (989)
Two of these C.T. Art-Colortone linen cards 7A-H41 are available, more or less the same on the front (one has a slightly whiter border) and with slightly different attributions on the back. One was mailed in 1938 with stamp and postmark, the other in 1939 in the same condition. Grades: 1

Code: 10138061
Price: $4.00
Yaquina Head, Oregon Coast
Three of these unused cards are available. Though aging slightly, still Grades: 1

Code: 10138062
Price: $3.00
Cannon Beach, Tillamook Lighthouse
Mailed in August, 1941, with stamp and large postmark. The message is faded but definitely of the era. Grade: 2

Code: 10138063
Price: $4.00
Cape Blanco Light House
Unused Wesley Andrews card 2A184 (965). Grade: 1

Code: 10138064
Price: $3.00
Umpqua Light House, Oregon Coast Highway
Unused C.T. Art-Colortone/Wesley Andrews linen card 7A-H3958. Grade: 1

Code: 10138065
Price: $3.00
Portland, Meier & Frank Co.
Unused Mike Roberts card C8426 from the late 1950s. Interesting note in the caption: “Has world’s longest continuous Escalator system.” Grade: 2

Code: 10138066
Price: $1.00
Mt. Hood and Trailways Bus
Unused and with multiple abrasions all over the reverse, from having been in an album. The caption is readable, though. Grade: 4

Code: 10138067
Price: $1.00
Tillamook Light House, Oregon Coast Highway
We will describe this as accurately as we can, even if we don’t understand it. Linen C.T. Art-Colortone/Wesley Andrews card 8A-H78 (464) with no message or address or extra writing on the back–but there is a 3-cent “Boulder Dam 1935” stamp pasted upside down in the correct area, and that stamp has a few faint lines of postmark on it. Yet clearly the card was not mailed “as-is.” Grade: 4

Code: 10138068
Price: $3.00
Oregon Coast, Heceta Head Lighthouse
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10138069
Price: $2.00
Yaquina Bay Lighthouse
Unused Mike Roberts card 6542G. Grade: 1

Code: 10138070
Price: $3.00
Yaquina Head Lighthouse, Oregon Coast
Mailed in 1985 with 14-cent stamp and postmark. Serrated edges. Grade: 3

Code: 10138071
Price: $2.00
Oregon Coast Lighthouse(s)
They are plural on the back of the card. Mailed in 2013 with four different stamps and readable postmark, the card has a caption identifying each one of these facilities. That’s nice, and makes it more valuable. Grade: 1

Code: 10138072
Price: $4.00
Yaquina Head Lighthouse
Our aggregation of lighthouse postcards includes a few, scattered around the world, where a great many years separate the first card from the most recent. Yaquina Head is one of those. This card was mailed in 2013 with four stamps and partial postmark, and happily the orange postal barcoding blends right into the orange background. Grade: 2

Code: 10138073
Price: $3.00
Interstate Bridge
Specifically, ovr the Columbia River between Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. Not postally used, but with much of the message area taken up with a notation. Dexter Press DT-58457-C, dated 1969. Grade: 4

Code: 10138074
Price: $0.50
Boatload of Salmon
Unused Mike Roberts card C785, aged, of “One of the valuable commercial assets of the Oregon Coast.” Grade: 3

Code: 10138075
Price: $1.00
Newport, Oregon State University, “Eightball” the octopus
Unused card 76167-C (OSU-115) of a “friendly octopus” at the OSU Marine Science Center. If he was here in Hong Kong, his nickname would have been “tasty,” not “friendly.” The card is unused, and though we think that white area on the top front is part of the card, we are not 100% sure it’s not an abrasion, so we are being conservative with Grade: 4.

Code: 10138076
Price: $1.00
Portland, Hibernia Savings Bank, July 1910 Calendar
The text is fun to read, especially about being open on Saturday Evenings. This card has an address typed on the undivided back, and was mailed, though there’s no stamp or postmark because it was the Bulk Mail of its time. Grade: 1

Code: 10138077
Price: $4.00
Oregon Timber
Unused, aged card. Grade: 2

Code: 10138078
Price: $2.00
Forest of Oregon Timber, Reached Via Union Pacific System
Unused card whose reverse is arguably more interesting than the front, due to the prominence of Union Pacific’s logo and text. Grade: 1

Code: 10138079
Price: $4.00
Oregon “Toothpicks”, from an Oregon Forest
Sharp-eyed customers will be able to compare this card (Oregon) with the identical picture from Washington (10148052) and “Northwest” (40300004), not to mention 10148051 as well. They got an awful lot of mileage out of a generic photo. Unused Wesley Andrews card 29989. Grade: 1

Code: 10138080
Price: $1.00
Greetings from Oregon, “The Big Timber State”
Don’t think Oregon is only about wood and lighthouses, though our postcard selection makes it look that way. This is an unused yet very heavily aged Plastichrome card P31941. Grade: 3

Code: 10138081
Price: $2.00
