A Several Interesting Stamped Envelopes I Just Got...

I have many more of them, and, if someone here is interesting to see them, I will be glad to add more scans over the weekend...

the first (right side9 one is U35, I think... a nice, old embossed cover... undervalued by Scott (in compare to, for example, some envelopes on the left side of this scan).

the 2nd one is an usual wrapper, but looks that it has been sent to the famous Carl Gustav Jung.

the 3rd one just make me sad, because I didn't find any chinese stamps in it :( funny ... the embossed stamp also have some kind of tear on it... a minor error in the printing process, I suppose...

WOW, Carl Jung! Is there any content with the cover addressed to Carl Jung?

Hello Stampcrow. No, that is a newspaper (?) wrapper in fact... left and right sides are free, and the back side is also not as in the envelopes.

If any, content will be visible on this scan (for example: ends of newspapers)... so, it is just wrapper, without any content.

Must have been some publication he was interested in from Cleveland.

Do you know what the word is that's written in black?

If you think about the word "Küsnacht" (I don't see it black, frankly, but I am partially a daltonist), that a small (15.000 people) town in Switzerland, near Zurich, where Carl Gustav Jung died and where is located his institute.

The incoming postmark (left to the Cleveland's one) is also Küsnacht. On the other side of the cover is Zurich incoming postmark.

Very cool Carl Jung cover indeed. 1903 he published his dissertation. Kusnacht is where he passed so perhaps his papers were all stamped as such.

in fact, that cover is from 1909, not 1903... here are the better scans, from both side...





in addition, here are more covers from the same collection... I have found all of them interesting for some detail (name of the ship, address: Basel, Germany (that's all... wrong country, wrong written name of the city in the wrong country... without name of the street) another notable person... very nice stamps etc. . first flights...

That white line on your 1c green stamped envelope with the Chinese stamps notation is a normal and common paper pinch that occurs when the paper is forced into the embossing die. You may seem claims that this is a cracked plate but stamped envelopes are not printed from plates. Also, claims that is a cracked die are bogus.

I just saw this topic. The Jung item really caught my attention too. I wonder if there is anyway to determine what newspaper he was getting from Cleveland?
