Gettysburg, Dutch Cupboard Tea House

Unused linen Curteich-Chicago card 5A-H2156. Calling this the “longest stone arch bridge in the world,” Wikipedia generally agrees that this is still the case, now qualifying it as “longest stone masonry arch railroad viaduct in the world”. Close enough. Grade: 1

Code: 10139176
Price: $2.00
Hellertown, The Long Bridge
Unused Plastichrome card K-12185, slight staining on the reverse. If you have any connection with “Lost,” you will appreciate the card’s caption: “The Long Bridge–about 100 ft. in length crosses the Lost Lake and over the Lost River leading into the New Room in Lost River Caverns …” We suppose, not lost any more.

Code: 10139181
Price: $2.00

Code: 10139194
Price: $1.00
Philadelphia, Liberty Bell, Independence Hall
Out of our many thousands of postcards, one of the very few whose message actually says … “Having a good time. Wish you were here.” Mailed with three one-cent stamps and partial 1962 postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10139195
Price: $0.50

Not postally used, with a message taking up most of the reverse. Grade: 5

Although we personally like the original large letter postcards, this one is about as good as it gets for a contemporary version. Mailed in 2020, with three different stamps and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 10139199
Price: $1.00
Lancaster, Dutch Wonderland
This very-kid-friendly amusement park opened in 1963, and the card was mailed in 1979 with two stamps and a heavy postmark. One might deduce from this that the Gift Shop is the park’s prime attraction, but we know there’s more to it than that. Grade: 1

Not postally used, but with a message filling the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 10139201

Harrisburg, Wm. Penn Highway and Susquehanna River
Clean and colourful, if uninspiring, old Curteich-Chicago linen card 1B-H725 (38). It’s aging, of course, and dates from the time when motoring might even have been fun. Grade: 1

Code: 10139202
Price: $2.00
Harrisburg, State Capitol Park Showing New Building Group
Unused linen Curteich-Chicago card 4A-H1354 (56), aging appropriately and a fine example of an unmailed card for your “state capitol” collection. Grade: 1

Gettysburg, High Water Mark
The caption on this unmailed card would be considered politically incorrect now, thanks to one word, but that was then and this is now.

Code: 10139205
Price: $2.00
