Quote: a postal card canceled in New York 5Sep1893: In connection with the above postal card recently posted by tomiseksj, as addressed to Rev. C.J. Holt of Fordham, NY, I thought some might find this link interesting (advance to page 12 and read the article "St. James Goes to the Movies"): http://stjamesf.dioceseny.org/gazette.pdf |

@wt1, if a black-bordered envelope is a mourning letter, does that make the gray-bordered one from 12 September a "someone is gravely ill" letter?  |

Quote: if a black-bordered envelope is a mourning letter, does that make the gray-bordered one from 12 September a "someone is gravely ill" letter? I had asked a similar question along those lines quite a way back and discovered that the silver (or gray) border is either meaningless or may have had reference to a wedding or engagement or similar life event. The covers I have posted at various times within this thread that date to the 1910's through 1930's are all addressed to the same family, who was apparently quite well-to-do in their generation and it is reflected in the stationery they used, which seems to be of superb quality. In fact, there are many cases where the envelope flap quite often has the embossed name of a stationer in various parts of the country that supplied the fancy stationery, including such names as Tiffany & Co.
