oh wow I really like that one most you see are pretty close to the same size for width and heighth. This one is over twice as long as it is tall. I can't believe how many small covers have been shown I love seeing them all. |

This cover measures 2-1/2 x 3-1/4. Since the letter was mailed to an address within the town of Ossining, NY, the address doesn't include the state, nor is there a number in the street address! The wonderment, though, is that such a small item didn't get lost.  |

I forgot what the measurement on this one is, but the Stamp should be a good barometer.  |

stalzer - That one looks like it would fit a block of 4 of those just about perfectly. |

This is the smallest (in one dimension, un-reduced) I have. Just under 2 inches (x 4.5 inches). Paying the 2 cent drop letter rate in Palmyra, New York.  |

I have this tiny one. It measures 3" X 2 1/4". I always wondered how they made it their destination. They could get lost anywhere.  |

This is cheating since these two letters presumably were hand delivered. According to the dealer I purchased them from, the letters were found in a bundle of correspondence to the Leigh family at BARDON in SOMERSET, full messages inside, folded up to no more than 2½ x 1½". They date from the early QV period.  |

That's cool. Santa Claus has box C. I wish I would have known that when I was a kid. |

Sent at the 1/2d printed paper rate from Sydenham to Beckenham. Contrary to regulation so it was deemed a "letter" and charged accordingly with 1d postage due.  Should add... not mine. |
