The addressee of the above cover is/was a Cornell University alumni. This excerpt taken from their October 7, 1937 Cornell Alumni News:  Must have been well-to-do if he had a Wall Street business address and a home address on Fifth Avenue! |

You do manage to find interesting bios, wt! Here are a couple of interesting covers for the 22cnd. A censored cover from Australia and an FDC from Canada that I put in for the red Senate cancel. I don't know if those are still available or not.   |

Here is a June 22, 1851 cover with a 5-cent 1847 issue rare 1c red orange shade certified by the PF as genuine usage and verifying the shade as red orange. According to a series of articles by the late Calvet M. Hahn in the Collector's Club Philatelist, the Red Orange shade was printed some time during the fourth and last printing, which took place in December 1850.  |

Gorgeous, Andy !
As an aside, and completely off the topic, when did the convention of putting the stamp in the upper right corner of the envelope come into being? I wonder? |

Ok so as long as we're going backwards a little. I missed posting this cover too. (See,  I do have some that are not Art Craft).  Think this is one of the founders of Milliken University in Decatur, IL from one of his bankers? Cannot figure out what the abbreviation after his name is.  |

I believe it is "& Co." |

Thanks Steve, By the way, I like that last cover of yours!
the & Co... makes sense... or at least more than where I was going.

Dear <XXX>,
We are <XXXXX> without you late friend. <XXX> have declined to 264. It's about 5 or 5:30. Business generally dull.
My <Best> <Truest> Rgds,
<XXXXX XXXXX>
I'll agree, most difficult. How's this fit into what you're thinking? |

I know, I'll sell all of mine to you and let you do the posting?
