This is another pretty neat cover I found in a recent collection purchase. Some of you may have seen some of my other covers posted in this and other threads. I assume most of you have, but does anyone else have these reused postcards? The person that put this collection together did a really good job. There are a lot of comments like the one made above this postcard.
Thanks,
Robert

They are neat! Almost all remailed postal cards are the result of an invoice/bill/assessment as the original message, a payment mailed back with the card in an envelope, then the postal card is stamped and remailed as a private postcard as a receipt.

Here is one I have shown before, used during the period of April 15, 1925 - June 30, 1928 when government postal cards were 1 cent and private cards were 2 cents. Thus the two mailing cycles show both rates on one mail piece.

The person that put this collection together made a lot of comments regarding the envelopes and some are very interesting. I will post more later when I get a chance.
Thanks,
Robert
