Philadelphia, Edgar Allan Poe desk

Pennsylvania Dutch Country
Unused Stel-Mar card 134479 (and A-22) from the 1970s, though as the reverse caption points out, time and modern methods are irrelevant here. Two of these cards are available, each one being Grade: 2

Price: $4.00
Dutch Country pick-up baler
At the time (1970s), there must have been a feeling that sign had to be in every postcard or the card would not sell. That may have been true, since all the cards looked about the same. This unused Stel-Mar card 134162 (and A-12) does however show a “modern pick-up baler” which we guess would not be pulled by horses if it was in some other part of the country. Grade: 1

Code: 10139005
Price: $4.00

Pittsburgh, Harley Hotel
Two of these unused cards are available. The reverse caption says “We’re going to be your favorite hotel,” and for all we know it’s a great place to stay (or was), but the card itself is devoid of people and makes the place look as bleak as a prison camp. By now they must have sorted that out. One would hope. Grades: 1

Code: 10139025
Price: $1.00
Valley Forge, Washington Memorial Chapel
Two mailed cards are available. One has 6-cent stamp and full 1972 postmark (Grade: 3, $1). The other has a 10-cent stamp but is a total mess with a large phone number scrawled across the front (Grade: 5, .50).

Code: 10139026
Price: $1.00

Philadelphia, Christ Church, Curtis Memorial Organ
One is meant to know where this church is located, but one only knows by looking it up in Google. Well, the 1981 postmark also helps. Three stamps. Grade: 2

Code: 10139035
Price: $1.50

The front of this unmailed 1938 card is fine and as evocative of an old structure as any card can be. But the postcard had been pasted at its four corners in a black album, and heavy remnants of that remain. Grade: 4

Code: 10139038
Price: $2.00
Greetings from Historic Philadelphia
