    Keep looking for some, sooner or later you will find a good deal. I always keep certain items in the back of my mind when I'm out philatelic shopping.

    Right Hoch. The thing is that, there are lesser stores (actually I found just one store in a certain mall here) that still sell philatelic items. :p

    The stamp retail stores are in fact decreasing. I have begun looking at antique stores that carry paper ephemera like documents, old photos and postcards. I recently found a couple of nice Civil War era photos with revenue stamps attached, a nice deed with revenue stamp and a photo post card of the Pan Pacific Exposition with contemporary Pan Pacific stamp cancelled during the show period. While the nature of the hobby changes collectors will and do adapt to them.

    Among the covers I collect are those from philatelic publications of years past. This one, undated, but probably from the early 1940s, was posted by the American Air Mail Society's Airpost Journal. The address label includes a nice reproduction of one of the Journal's art deco covers of 1932. This item probably carried a subscription renewal notice to the addressee.

    Whoever lives there now sure likes plants. The house looks like it may be old enough to have received your cover.

    Yes, indeed. It appears the current residents collect plants, but who knows, maybe stamps and covers too. I also notice they have the icicle Christmas lights up. Looks like the house is in one of the older residential neighborhoods. I wonder what became of the addressee?
