I got this postcard recently off of eBay.

I was looking at it and noticed something odd. There's a "No Prize" for the first person who can tell me what's wrong here.

Here's the front-



Now here's the back-





There's an additional No Prize still out there for the person who can tell me who originally presented "No Prizes" and why.

Here's a hint for the guys out there- you might have looked at these when you went to the Barber Shop in the 60's & 70's

I'll even explain the origination of the "No Prize" if no one can come up with that info.

Google gave me an explaination of what "No Prize" is. If you want, I'll tell.

It is not Pidgeon Point - like the back of the card states.

Marblehead, Mass. Lighthouse, you will always have a very special place in our hearts. ....We've made the journey as far south as New Jersey, as far north as Canada. Over 100 lighthouses visited.... and so many more to go.

Roxie,

You have correctly identified the Lighthouse on the front, but you have not addressed all that is wrong on the back.

Sea Girt,

You can if you want to try. I was hoping to find someone who knew without looking it up.

Besides not being "Pidgeon" Point, it's alson not even "Pigeon" Point.

Larry,

You win the "No Prize", but you have to share it with Roxie.

The editor of that card must have had a hard night. :-)
