I like the little random blurb at the bottom of the page:
Quote: -- A chauffeur-driven limousine pulled up in front of the Traverse City, Michigan post office and picked up rural letter carrier Morris Kolarik. Associated Press reported that his 7 children, ages 18 through 31, thought of the idea of having their father cover the 65-mile route in style on his last day before retirement.
The stamps that were stolen came from the New York Public Library's Benjamin Miller Collection. That collection contains the second known 1868 Z Grill stamp. Imagine if that one had been stolen as well! I wonder if it would have ever been found again.
I saw that collection several times back in the days when it was on display in library. Unfortunately it was on sliding panels off in a corner where anyone could have done it harm if they were so inclined. I can still remember the pleasant surprise of discovering it as a teenager.
What about that one that showed up recently on here. A gal was helping another gentleman sell his estate and apparently had an inverted jenny. Just a thought?
