Well, that's the ONLY possibility in this case - weighed over 1 and less than 2 ounces. |

This is very approximate, airmail 6c per ounce, 1934 to 1958, which picks up all of World War II. |

Wow, you mean there have been times when postage rates went DOWN?? GASP!
The envelope is good and empty, so I can't comment on what it may have actually weighed... |

Nice airmail cover there Nells250. Would anyone know what the price would be for the cover would be if unused. I have some that is marked APO as well. I cant wait until I get everything sorted and post some pics. Say Nells250 do you have any V Mail envelopes with the instruction printed on them? Do you collect airmail items? |

Thanks Russ those are the ones I have in mint condition. So what about a good price. I've seen anywhere from 2.00 to 10.00. is that about right. I just love this forum. And sorry for the late reply to you. Work is keeping me pretty busy right now. |

I have a whole collection of covers much like this one (well, except for postage due) with all original letters that were written to my grandmother from her brother deployed in WWII. I had the great privilege of meeting him once. |

This is a cover that has quite a few things going for it. Donald E. Ganger was born in 1922 and was from Elkhart, IL and entered the service on 11/11/1942, and served for "Duration of War, Plus 6 Months".
Wow! what a lot of "and's" |
