Sort of... It was for some part what started me off, but now its more family history (all rather common, and he'd never heard of a letter opener). |

A brief piece of information on Harvard Forest, Petersham, Mass., as the addressee of the postal card shown in your last scan: Quote:

tomiseksj, those are very interesting airmail covers. All, except the last one, appear to be sent by the same person (same typewriter wrote each address) but sent from different cities on the same date to commemorate the last date of the old airmail rate. Someone went to great lengths to create the set. Do you know their origins? |
