Athens, Ohio, May 1, 1827
straightline, 25 cent rate to Massachusetts. Marking is well
struck
but cover is toned and has some edge wear and ink erosion. Small
piece
of paper missing in the rate; the paper is only folded at lower left
and is not missing, though there is a tear perhaps caused by the ink
erosion. Nice Ohio straightline. Personal letter content;
fragile due
to splits along folds.

1 cent impert, Scott #314, used
single
on greetings postcard from Chandlersville, Ohio, January 1909.
Strange
to see an imperf from a small town like this on personal mail, but here
it is. Stamp has a small "bite" at upper right corner. Nice
usage.

soiling and edge tears.

1927
College of Wooster Bulletin, a newsletter, mailed from Wooster to
Canada, with a 2 cent 4th-bureau coil. The bulletin was entered
in the
US as second-class mail. Although the first-class rate was 2
cents to
Canada in 1927, it is also possible that this is indeed 2nd class to
Canada. Either way, still a very interesting usage.
