Open bidding

Opening bid

$
Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

What's it worth?

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

A linen-finish postcard, “102-A — Chicago Natural History Museum, Chicago”: the white columned museum on the lakefront, the flag flying, gardens and lamp posts in front and small figures on the paths. The Field Museum carried that name for a stretch of the mid-century.

The back calls it “one of the finest museum buildings on Earth, situated on the Lakefront”. Published by Aero Distributing Co., Chicago, printed by Curt Teich (code 1C-H1497). Unused, with an old dealer’s pencil note and a little surface loss on the back. Close-ups show the building and the gardens.
