Here are pictures of forgotten covers I found with some of my stamp stuff from when I was a kid. Nice to look at, probably common but I thought I'd post them. Not sure what Scott number or shades they are(65 I guess), it's out of my realm. Take a look any info is appreciated.

Nice, thanks for posting. I like the middle name on the last cover, Casious, rather Roman sounding.

For a biography on the Palmer family depicted as addressee of the above covers, check out this link (bottom of col. 1 of page 159 and through onto page 160):

Very nice stamps and great foresight on the young man that resisted taking them off cover. So much nicer with all the trimmings. - jeff
