New To Forum Showing Confederate Cover

Here is an example of an advertizing cover circa 1857 with Pittsburg Paid cancellation

How about this 1885 hotel supplied envelope with 2 1cent stamps and interesting oval cancellation

How about something completely different. Postmaster general authorized 1933 APS Century of Progress souveneir sheets

I love the Stamps and envelopes. I wish I had the sheets also. HMmm I wish, I wish, I wish. Can't never get enough or too much.

various 3 cent covers
The top one is an embossed enveloped with an advert for shoe polish
The middle one is a pring advert cover with a 3 cent 1857 with a paid cancellation
The bottom one sent from St Louis in 1860 was destined for Louisiana. It must have gone by steamship [how else] but alas was not marked so.

here we have three very different covers
the 1st is for a regular 3 cent postage but they must have run out so they used 3 - 1 cent stamps. It has a blue cancellation
The 2nd has a blue South Carolina Railroad cancellation and is backstamped with an 1852 cancellation
The 3rd is a "Way" cancellation and according to my Cancellation catalog has to do with steamships

here's an advert with a 3 cent 1851 with an infinity/8 cancellation design
The 2nd cover is from Point Coupee Louisiana and was sent to New Orleans - I have a lot of the monsignor's mail, I guess my grandpa knew someone in the monsignors family as we have many letters to him.
The 3rd is another of his letters

One correction: The top cover shown on page 3 of this thread is not a Pittsburg Paid, but rather a Pittsfield, Massachusetts Paid postmark.

Wow, you have some great covers there. There is so much history behind each one. Would love to see even more.

Chic, along with others on this community, I think what you've show so far is pretty remarkable stuff. We are all looking forward to seeing everything you wish to share with us. I'm sure we'd all look forward to an opportunity to acquire anything you might wish to part with. Like others, funds are also limited for me, but perhaps there may be something we may all be able to afford; or perhaps arrange some trades? You're fortunate to have had a family who saved the collection. Please continue to share with us as you can. Looking forward to it. Thanks for joining in and sharing.

Here are some stampless covers
the first is from Hartford Conneticutt to Sacremento City California
The second is with a different red cancellation from Philadelphia
The third one is a cover sent from Cuyahoga Falls Ohio in 1868 with a paid cancellation in blue
The fourth is from Buffalo New York witha fancy blue paid cancellation

Here are 2 boston covers\
The first is a red cancellation with a black paid on the 1851 3 cent
The second is a 3 cent red brown that was delivered and then forwarded to another town and has a red paid and a red Boston cancelltion saying 6 cents was collected to forward it.

How about a registered letter with 16 cents sent 1886 with scott# 187 and 210

How about this one, Someone was trying to get the lawyer for 2 cents!

This is a 1893 cover with a 3 cent Columbian Exposition stamp on a hotel envelope
