Interesting group of covers in the $1 to $5 range, did not see anything over that amount; the browning and overall grubby condition will hurt the valuations. Not often you see the 2c Pan-American on an airmail cover (!) but it is a philatelic concoction. Any foreign covers? |

Entire is the entire envelope- the first value given is usually for a cut square (a little piece of paper with only the franking thing- please do not do this- people collect the entire envelope but not cut squares as much these days)
I would put it as one of the whites, myself. It does not look brown or manilla to me... (I assume you are talking about the lovely city gas and fuel advert cover...)

New12 thank you so much and if you or anyone else is interested I will be wanting to sell these off on here asap..soooo darn much more to get through and scan/document You liked the one above with contents in it..like I said quite a few have contents in them and looks like they may have never been open,,can see contents when held close to light Please clarify this again for me~ You say the first price on left side in catalog is for cut outs(USED)??? I thaught the first column is for unused price and 2nd price column is for used?? Does this not apply for this type of stamp?? How the heck do you value entire envelopes then,,I dont see this in catalog anywhere except for that one there where it said entire |

New12 you say this~ I would put it as one of the whites, myself. It does not look brown or manilla to me... (I assume you are talking about the lovely city gas and fuel advert cover...) In the catalog white is not an option.. it lists as follows Carmine Carmine Amber Carmine Oriental Buff Carmine Blue Carmine Manilla Carmine Glazed Brown Carmine UnGlazed Brown So now what color is that dang thing if whit eisnt an option here? |

"White" is the first one in your list. In the absence of any specified color, "...Carmine...," it is assumed to be white paper for the envelope.
It is all the more difficult to assign colors to this group due to the foxing and browning of the envelopes themselves. |

The third cover you scanned with a Green Bay, Wisconsin postmark dated 07/07/1934 is a First Day Cover for the Wisconsin Statehood stamp. Surprisingly only 130,000 of the Scott #739 with a first day postmark was processed at Green Bay, Wisconsin, yet the current catalog value is only $1.10.
It just goes to show that "old" doesn't necessarily mean it's "valuable". |

As to the fifth cover scanned, as addressed to Merritt B. Teasdale of the Masonic Lodge #258 in 1907, here's a brief bio: Quote: Merritt Brown Teasdale (1830-1909) was born in New York, USA in Nov 1830 to James Cutterback Teasdale and Rebecca Fritts. Merritt Brown Teasdale married Dorcus Lawrence and had 2 children. He passed away on 3 Jan 1909 and is buried in Conneautville Cemetery in Conneautville, Crawford, Pennsylvania, USA. |
