I love your page layout Chip. May I ask how you mount the stampless covers ? I'm assuming it's some kind of pocket ?

Just a couple of clear corners. Get them from Subway Stamps.

You can also get the corners at Michaels Craft stores. I think the chain is in many countries. They are what I use as well.
There are a couple of makes, one is Canson. Much cheaper than the subway stamp variety.
Just sayin'

Wow, more brilliant stuff. There was one of those Temperance covers up for auction at Maresch in Toronto at their recent auction, black on what looked like a creme paper, sent from Niagara UC to Massacheusetts in 1854. Estimate was $500. Don't know what it went for, I ended up not attending.

Just checked their website, the cover realized $675

Here's a screen capture.

James:
That was the U.S. design used in Canada.

Here are the others I mentioned:
British (Published by Valentine): http://www.cgpostal.com/temperance/Slide21.JPG
U.S. (two designs, a few publishers): http://www.cgpostal.com/temperance/Slide22.JPG
and the top one here (use in the Confederacy): http://www.cgpostal.com/temperance/Slide24.JPG

You gotta love the imagery - booze bad (left); temperance good (right). At least in Hogarth's day, the battle was between Gin (bad) and Beer (good):

chipg - your covers are so nice Now I know who's buying up the good covers.

Here are a couple of Trans-Atlantic from GB to Canada. I like town names as they are out of the way places. These are a little later dates but hope you like them.
