They will all be for sale one day Rod. I don't think any one else in my family is interested in these.
The Spanish covers all originated from a great-great uncle who worked for Compania Anonima de Buitron at Valverde del Camino from 1936 until 1948. The letters are all addressed to various relatives. |

I hope I am around when you sell :)
May I hazard a guess around $5 to $10 a cover?
what is your estimation?
I saw a similar cover 2010 going for 3.5 euros
not sure of its closing price.

There are a few commercial covers with locals or charities from elsewhere as well.  |

I'd die to be able to have that hand I'm fairly certain that hand belongs to my great-great aunt, who was writing to her sister (my great grandmother). |

Well she (in my opinion) had an almost perfect style,
beautiful small "r's" and "O's"
She only fails on her "2's" , just a bit basic.
That ink and nib had to have come from a quality Parker pen.
