Pretty neat accumulation of stamps and covers. Some in good shape, some in terrible shape, some cancelled, some not....wide array. Has been fun taking a trip to the past via this container of old stamps!

As a collector of Oklahoma postal history, I would love to see more of those covers! Especially the airmail ones if mailed from Oklahoma. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the welcome, guys.

Arrows, I'll have to look through it and see if there's anything that would interest you!

My great great aunt was a postmaster here in OK many moons ago. Not sure what made my grandma start saving these things, but when she did, her sister started saving things for her too. I'm being told that there is another box of stamps and covers somewhere in storage, which is where this one was just unearthed.

I know nothing about the hobby, but from what little I've read, I understand that what I have is more of an "accumulation" rather than a "collection" because it's not arranged or organized. lol I wouldn't mind turning it into a collection, even though I doubt that much (if any) of what I have is worth anything, but I would have no idea on how to organize or display this type of collection since it's all different sizes and shapes. Haha

I'll keep ya'll updated and try and take some more pictures of anything that's noteworthy

Thanks!
