probably not the De La Rue you're talking about but I thought I'd take a shot.  Letter inside, I love the part on how they lost all their records in the Air Raids on London  |

probably not the De La Rue you're talking about The same De La Rue, and thanks for posting such an interesting item. Happy the thread has been relived !  Look at the wording around the crest on the letterhead, the very same playing cards mentioned only just a short while ago. Great stuff. |

The third, and final, issue of IPSA (Independent Postal System of America) was printed by de la Rue in Brazil. Most of the printing was destroyed when the promoters failed to make payment. |

It says he died in 1866, just after the U.S. Civil War. The South sure could have used him on their side, their noted were so widely counterfeit. |
