Milwaukee, Lieber and Safir Co.
On the back, this unused reply card leads with: “I want to make MONEY!” and solicits registration for a coming sale (of what?), with special terms. Too late, though, the company’s long gone. Grade: 1

Code: 10150196
Price: $1.00

Price: $1.00
Wauwatosa, Gimbels-Schusters at South Mall at Mayfair

Price: $2.00
Green Bay, Packer Hall of Fame
Mailed in 2021, this card has the postmark and three different stamps (including one commemorating American football) and some postmark ink transfer on the front: in all respects an iconic card for this storied franchise which at the time we write this seems intent on shooting itself in the foot. But by the time you read this, let’s hope all is forgiven/forgotten. Grade: 2

Code: 10150200
Price: $3.00
Mellen, Copper Falls State Park, The Bad River Gorge

Green Lake, The Lawson Gardens
Something happened. We Googled to learn more, and “Lawson Gardens” brought up many citations for the same name in Pullman, Washington. As this unused card clearly states, the ones you see here were in Wisconsin — but entering “Green Lake” together with Lawson yielded nothing. So, like we said, something happened. But the card survives. Grade: 1

Code: 10150204
Price: $3.00
Milwaukee, Whitnall Park, Botanical Garden
The caption says “Milwaukee” but the official address now is “Franklin”. Does this matter to us? Not really. Unused, aging L.L. Cook postcard 70400 (166-D-23). Grade: 2

Code: 10150205
Price: $1.00

Code: 10150207
Price: $2.00
the Lower Dells of the Wisconsin River
The perforated left edge suggests something had been there; the legend about “Mail the post cards! Save the miniatures!” answers that puzzle. The remaining card is unused, showing one of the “modern steel sightseeing boats” passing Lone Rock. Grade: 1

Code: 10150208
