  • Beaufort, The Castle (Danner home)

    Somewhat gothic in appearance, this card makes us want to visit Beaufort.  We are a little bit dark, anyway.  Card was mailed with a (cancelled) 13-cent stamp, but no legible postmark.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10141002

    Price: $2.00

    Beaufort, The Castle (Danner home)

  • Myrtle Beach, Brookgreen Gardens, Live Oak Walk

    Unused “local” card 24832 of this location near Murrells Inlet–the caption stating that “Over 300 statues and works of art can be seen in an outdoor setting,” though none, alas, on this card.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10141007

    Price: $1.00

    Myrtle Beach, Brookgreen Gardens, Live Oak Walk
  • Charleston, Fort Sumter National Monument

    Code: 10141011

    Price: $1.00

    Georgetown County, Brookgreen Gardens
  • Charleston, Nathaniel Russell House

    About the only thing the postcard’s caption doesn’t tell us is who Nathaniel Russell was.  We took care of that for you.  He was a Rhode Island merchant.  Wikipedia makes the 1809-1811 house sound far more interesting than the Russells, though.  Unused Dexter Press card 70153-B.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10141012

    Price: $2.00

    Charleston, Nathaniel Russell House
  • Charleston, Magnolia Gardens

    We rarely run across this type of design.  It’s an unused E.C. Kropp Co. linen card 6977N (6), with the date “Oct. 15, 1954” rubber-stamped on the reverse.  The flowers?  Wisteria.  Grade: 3 

    Code: 10141013

    Price: $4.00

    Charleston, Magnolia Gardens
  • Anderson, Lake Portman sunset

    Unused “local” linen card E-4291 (A-20) of Lake Portman on the Seneca River.  One could imagine the mythical Australian outdoorsman Bronc Morret making his way through there.  The date “Sep. 16, 1952” is rubber-stamped on the reverse.  Grade: 3

    Code: 10141014

    Price: $2.00

    Anderson, Lake Portman sunset
  • Greetings from South Carolina

    Uninspiring but authentic “Greetings” on this unused old linen Tichnor card 60241.  Grade: 3

    Price: $3.00

    Greetings from South Carolina
  • Charleston, Cooper River Bridge

    Charleston, Morris Island Lighthouse
  • Greetings from South Carolina (souvenir folder)

    The postmark is not readable, but the 3-cent stamp is there, and the large-letter folder of 16 views survived mailing in excellent condition.  Grade: 1

    Code: 10141018

    Price: $9.00

    Greetings from South Carolina (souvenir folder)
  • Anderson

    It is apparently the norm now for the USPS processing to mangle or abrade postcards.  This one is no exception:  an abrasion through part of the caption and along right reverse edge.  Mailed in 2012 with legible postmark and two stamps.  Grade: 4

    Code: 10141019

    Price: $0.50

    Anderson
  • Spartanburg, Main Street Looking East at Night

    Tichnor linen card 75150, heavily aged and handled over the years.  Mailed in 1945 with sending and receiving postmarks (three days apart) but no stamp, and there is a good reason for that: the writer, a U.S. soldier, was entitled to mail the card for free, and so he did, writing “Free” in the stamp area.  Grade: 3

    Code: 10141020

    Price: $3.00

    Spartanburg, Main Street Looking East at Night
  • South of the Border

    Just south of North Carolina, this unused card features a famous “rest stop and roadside attraction” first put up in 1950.  The facility has a colourful history, and Wikipedia tells you all about it, and about Pedro, if you want to know.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10141021

  • Hilton Head Island, Sea Pines Plantation, Harbour Town Lighthouse

    Charleston, Fort Sumter and lighthouse
  • Hunting Island Lighthouse

    Like so many other lighthouses we have listed, this is not the first to be built on the same site.  In this case, something was built in 1859 but this one was completed in 1889.  This is a confusing caption, though, on unused Dexter Press card 70243-B.  Grade: 1

    Code: 10141026

    Price: $4.00

    Hunting Island Lighthouse
  • Sullivan’s Island, Charleston Light

    The main caption on this unused Dexter Press card 87991-B reads:  “AMERICA’S MOST POWERFUL LIGHTHOUSE” and goes on to say that this is “the most powerful lighthouse in North and South America–second most powerful in the world,” with 28 million candlepower.  That kind of claim is a challenge for us, so we went to Google.  It’s amazing how many different ways there are to claim to be “most powerful” and also how many different lighthouses claim this … but Wikipedia tells us that the power of Charleston Light was reduced from 28 million to 1.2 million because the original output was “too dazzling.”  The things we learn.  Grade: 1

    Code: 10141027

    Price: $4.00

    Sullivan’s Island, Charleston Light
  • Charleston, Henry’s

    Price: $1.00

    Charleston, Henry’s

    Price: $1.00

    Charleston, Fort Sumter National Monument
  • Charleston, Middleton Gardens

    The caption on this unused Plastichrome card P20862 calls these “The oldest formal gardens in America,” presumably in contrast to older informal ones.  We’re certain these are beautiful, though.  Grade: 2

    Code: 10141032

    Price: $1.00

    Charleston, Middleton Gardens
  • A Peachy Place To Be

    We really need to give you the caption:  “The amazing Giant Peach is located along I-85 in Gaffney, SC.  The giant peach is actually a cleverly disguised water tower.”  When we first saw the card, we thought it was a cleverly disguised golf ball.  Unused card.  Grade: 1

    Price: $5.00

    Greetings from South Carolina, map
  • South of the Border

    We know all about tourist stops like this, but had never been here, so we did–what else?–we Googled.  Seems to be somewhat past its prime, but here’s an unmailed card anyway.  Two initials are written over the caption area.  Grade: 3

    Code: 10141038

    Price: $1.00

  • Greetings from Myrtle Beach, Pavilion

    We thank Wikipedia for this (abridged) description of The Pavilion:  “The Myrtle Beach Pavilion was a historic pay-per-ride, 11-acre amusement park that was located at the corner of 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, down from the Family Kingdom Amusement Park.  (It) had well over 40 different attractions   and included the wooden rollercoaster Hurricane: Category 5. Despite efforts made by citizens to save the park, it was lost to redevelopment in 2007.  While the park was officially closed and became a vacant lot on 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, some rides and attractions were moved to Broadway At The Beach.” Anyway, the Curteichcolor card 5C-K301 is unused but very slight aging.  Grade: 1
