Here's a very nice vintage postcard featuring the Portland Head Light, "First Light House Erected by the United States of America", in Portland, Maine.

The description on the back reads "PORTLAND MAINE --- The first established beacon light upon the New England coast, lighted for the first time January 10, 1791 --- The first light keeper was appointed by George Washington. Portland Head, on which the light is situated, gave the name to the city of Portland."

The photo is attributed to Eva Luoma. The card is identified as ""Plastichrome", by Colourpicture Publishers, Inc., Boston 15, Mass., and published by Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Co., Inc., Belfast, Me.. It carries the identification code "P9850".

Size: approx. 3½" x 5½"

Date: Not dated, but probably from the 1950s.

Condition: Very good, I'd say. The card is unused, with very slight edge wear. The back shows a small amount of foxing. (Please see scans.)

MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 cards for the single base shipping charge shown. For purchases of more than 4 cards, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional cards.
