Intriguing World's Columbian Envelope Addressed to None other than George Davis!

This is a prime example of the many expo items where value is determined by the whim of a collector. We all have some subjective elements in what we collect. To some, just the front half of an envelope would have NO meaning/value, while to others it might be a wonderful piece to add to a collection. It would, for example, be a treasure in a philatelic collection or many other specialized Columbian collections.

As are so many items from this and all fairs, subjectivity is a key element in desirability. You either appreciate the uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind envelope or you don't. It was sent in August, at the peak of the fair (and the summer heat) in Chicago. And why from the railroad? Official business, personal correspondence between friends or maybe a special request from one executive to another....

I won't belabor the point: This is truly one-of-a-kind memorabilia from the WCE--whether you are a philatelic person or you collect items related to directors or perhaps just to Davis, this is a unique piece. If you are like me and many of my customers, and you'd count this as a great find, by all means don't let it slip away.

Shipping is FREE in a flat first-class envelope; if you want tracking and plenty of heavy cardboar packing, please let us know so we can invoice you $5.00 for the tracked option.
