Hi everyone!
I collect international and US stamps of almost every kind. I helped my Dad with his collection until he passed away in 2009, and inherited his collection, and that along with my collection is pretty big now! I really like Pre-1940's mailed envelopes with all kinds of cancellations.
Thanks for reading!
John

Thanks philb! I have the day off work so I figured today would be a great day to dig through my collection and post regarding some questions I had on some envelopes and cancellations.
Please see those posts in "US Classic Stamps Mint and Used" pre-1940 discussion and let me know your opinion, thanks!
