Winchester, Duff’s Virginia Hams

Price: $3.00
Haysi, John Flannigan Dam
We look at the photo on this unused Dexter Press card 19975-C but apart from the tower on the right we are struggling to see the dam. It must be there. The caption says so. Grade: 1

Unused “local” card, beginning to age and mottle on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10147105

Staunton, Woodrow Wilson Birthplace
This unused Tichnor Lusterchrome card K-5426 is just barely old enough that persons of the time would have been more familiar with President Wilson than they are now–so the caption doesn’t say too much. Grade: 1 (WE MUST VERIFY AVAILABILITY)

Code: 10147106
Price: $2.00
The Fall of Richmond, Virginia
This is a Currier and Ives lithograph of the April, 1865 U.S. Civil War event. The card is not so old, of course, being mailed in 2013 with stamp and unusually clear postmark. Some minor USPS processing abrasion on the back, and faint orange barcoding on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 10147123
Price: $1.00
Arlington, The Pentagon
There’s no shortage of Pentagon postcards, but the Smithsonian–which should know better, we think–loudly captions this as being in Washington, DC, when of course it is across the Potomac River in Arlington. Oh, well. Mailed in 2013 with five different stamps (two of them uncancelled) and full postmark. Perforated left edge suggests it came out of a book. Grade: 2

Code: 10147124
Price: $2.00
Lorton, Gunston Hall
Gunston Hall was once the center of a tobacco and corn plantation, owned by George Mason IV. If you’ve ever spent time in or around Washington, DC, you might be familiar with that name. Unused card. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00

Code: 10147129

Natural Bridge
If we were giving a “Postcard Award of the Year” for “Greatest hyperbole in a caption” it would be this unused Lusterchrome card K-4273, which among other things calls this formation “One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.” The card is smudged on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10147130
Price: $1.00
