re: Why would anyone do this ? put 1949 Christmas seals on a 1940 cover
Daryl, you are right..as i use a glass to aid my weakened eyes...the postmark is 49, i guess the fellow considered it a Christmas seal FDC..i was going by the stamp. Sorry AMSD the price just went up !

And a New Jersey cover too! I do have Burlington since it's a fairly easy town to find. But a very cool cover overall. Especially as the seals are tied.

Charles Gilbert knew what he was doing with seals; he wouldn't have used old seals. I have a good number of Gilbert's mailings; this is nice, because it's commercial.
So, sure, make it cheep and make it mine
