Nice. Kas was local to my city and I was fortunate enough to acquire a lot of his "unique" stuff that rarely sees public sales or auctions. Some of those type of lots can really command a hefty price tag. Good find!

It seems adding the Bileski name to an item instantly adds value. There are some cases I would question the items without any provenance but this is a winner.

I posted this cover on a different thread, along with some links containing background information on Bileski. The addressee was a dealer specializing in Canal Zone material so I wonder what the cover's contents might have been.

Since the letter went for 1c and had a mute cancel, it must have been bulk advertising material.

For many years, another source for the French Community presentation sheetlets was Serebrakian of New York.
