POSTCARD 4509       [last updated 01-31-2015]



I have eight distinct views of Postcard 4509.

Differences to the front:
     The mountains are lighter on HHT 3 & 6
     The title is centered at the bottom below the image on HHT 4 & 6, at the top in the image on HHT 8 but left aligned on HHT 1, 2, 3, 5 & 7

Differences to the back:
     The fourth line of HHT 1's description ends in 'fa-', unlike HHT 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8
     The fourth line of HHT 8's description ends in 'the', unlike HHT 1, 2, 3, 5 & 7
     The arrow for HHT 1 & 3 are identical but the font for 'H H T CO' is different
     The arrow and font for 'H H T CO' are identical on HHT 2, 5 & 8 but different when compared with HHT 1, 3 & 7
     Because HHT 4 & 6 are from postcard folders their back view is another postcard and has no place for the address and message

Earliest Postmark:
     HHT Co. Type 1 - August 22, 1936
     HHT Co. Type 2 - July 16, 1941 (from an eBay postcard)
     HHT Co. Type 3 - None
     HHT Co. Type 4 - None
     HHT Co. Type 5 - None
     HHT Co. Type 6 - None
     HHT Co. Type 7 - None
     HHT Co. Type 8 - None

Other remarks:
     Very similar to postcard 4301
     Although identical to HHT 5 in every aspect, HHT 2 card stock is fibrous, unlike HHT 1, 3, 5, 7 & 8 (Justification to classify as a separate Type?)
     HHT 4 & 6 are from postcard folders, unlike the standalone postcards HHT 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 & 8
     HHT 5 can be found in a particular postcard box set of 50 views (see scan)
