I am just starting to write a letter to mama, & I thot I'd send you a card. Are you going to come down and drive thru with me? How do you feel now, papa, better I hope. It won't be long now until I'll be home, we are getting almost thru downs(?) here. I was at Alva yesterday; Well, bye bye.
Lovingly,
Jessie.
The postage stamp was an April fools joke, right.
ReplyDeleteFirst it is a very, very rare error stamp.
The upside down airplane was never used.
one of them just sold at auction in 2007 for $825,000.00.
It was never postage canceled and it only cost a penny to send a post card back then.
Hahaha! Yes, happy April Fool's Day, Roger! I hope you all enjoyed the joke.
ReplyDeleteI read thru it and thot nothing was wrong.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even notice the strange stamp & here Roger knows its value!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, ENM & RTD!
