i always look for U.S. covers of the 2 cent red Washington type of 1890 to 1897..a zillion of them were printed and the covers are very inexpensive..most less than a dollar..so I can be selective and pick the ones that appeal to me and leave the rest...i will show a couple...  |

heres just one more typical one...the catalog values of the stamps vary with the catalog number but I do not worry too much about that..i am buying the cover not the stamp..whats my point ? I guess its that you can collect a topic without spending serious money !  |

I agree, that first one has beautiful penmanship! That alone would make it a collectible in my book. You just don't see that kind of penmanship anymore!

I agree with the beautiful script. Not seen much if at all these days. There are enough cancellations on covers like these for a great collection and display. |

Phil,
Did you notice on your 1st cover that the addressee spells the city "Galesburg" and the postmark cancel is spelled "Galesburgh" and the "G"'s look like a "C". I know a lot of cities changed their spellings dropping the "H"'s from ..burgh
I find that interesting. |
