I D Help Requested

I bought these covers today at a yard sale..
I could use some help identifying and getting a value.

Nice yard sale. I rarely find anything philatelic at one. Usually it's just the orange stained tupperware, kid's clothes and puzzles with missing pieces.

The postal card is either UX1 or UX3, but you'll need to check the watermark.

Will

can anyone identify the grill on the 3 cent stamp?
i think it is an I grill 10x13, but can't find one in the book.

From the biography of the Leavenworth family, regarding the addressee, Henry Leavenworth (d. 1854):

"At a meeting of the Bar of Chittenden county, held the day following his death, the following resolutions, with others, were passed on the report of a committee :—

Resolved, That we learn with deep sorrow, that our friend and brother, Henry Leavenworth, Esq., a member of this Bar, passed from this life yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock.

Resolved,That in his life, as an attorney and counselor, as a neighbor, citizen and friend, he manifested constantly the utmost integrity, and enlarged benevolence, and public spirit, and a devotion to the principles of Christianity, which, from early life, he professed, and ever afterwards eminently adorned ; and that he has left behind him a life and character marked by as much of good and as little of evil as falls to the lot of man.

Resolved, That we will cherish the memory of his many excellences and virtues, by seeking to reproduce them in our own characters and lives."


Wouldn't it be nice if people would say that about you when you've shuffled off this mortal coil?

Neat covers.

[I apologize in advance for what will surely be strange formatting...must be related to the size of the images in the original post.]

Wow...when you said, "yard sale" I was thinking you'd tell us you talked the lady down to forty cents...

That was some yard sale. I was under the impression (apparently the misimpression) you could buy a car at a yard sale for $140.

Still neat.

sv,
The F grill is 10x13mm. The I (and H) grill was not known until the American Banknotes.

Edited F grill would be Scott 94

Hi All

Only three times in my lifetime have I ever come across anything philatelic at a regular yard sale. The first time was a small batch of unused postcards from the 1933 Chigago Century of Progress, the 2nd time was a small White Ace binder with 20 postcards for a grand total of 2 dollars and just this summer another postcard from ym area here from the 1940's

Sure wish there were more yard sales like them <G>

Bujutsu

trying to find a watermark on a thick piece of post card is hard.

sv,
I have hade some luck with using a high intensity light behind the card. Often times the watermark will be visible without any fluids.

thanks russ

Being as it's Rose color, probably an E grill. You'll probably have to lift the stamp to be 100% certain.
