EXOTIC GIFT from the Mideast in 1957


This item is from Bert's collection. Imagine opening an envelope and finding this inside. I think it's amazing it exists intact.

  3. Love old letters and when a treasure is enclosed, it's even better. Loved looking at these.

  4. A little blessing in an envelope, words and fabric both. They don't make them like this anymore.

  5. People don't know what they're missing by not sending real mail. I do remember getting a hankie in an envelope from a great aunt back in the 50. I still have the hankie, but the card is long gone. Thank you Aunt Nell.
