This is an interesting postcard from Leeds MN to Montevideo MN, sent on Sept 5th 1907. It has a receiving stamp from Mandt Rural Sta in MN on Sept 7th 1907. The thing that makes it rather interesting is that the Leeds PO only operated between 1879 and 1880. Assuming this is real, just being from Leeds it has a rarity code of 8 according to Richard Helbock's book "United States Post Offices", which gives it a value of between $200 and $500.

Blimey, you are correct. And a closer look identifies the one I was looking at as ending in "EO" for Montevideo rather than beginning with "ST". I looke at it gain, it is not a mirror image. That's one down, anyway.

Tim,
It's not Leeds, MN. The postmark underneath Leeds is Minnesota. The Leed's postmark has a "k" in the state abbreviation. It could be Kansas? Try it at 1200 or at retroreveal. Sorry to be the Party Pooper.

Man am I ever sorry I had to miss that show. It was nip & tuck up until Sat morning & it just wasn't going to happen! This is as close as I've ever come to making--usually someone has hijacked my schedule months in advance. The sucking organ recital that has meant the doctors are getting all the gold has been in full swing this winter. Maybe next year.
