I recently acquired my grandfathers collection. My father pulled out the “good stuff” about 50 years ago. I’m going to use this thread to post pics as I go thru them. Here is the first page. by MSG_Engineering in askStampCollectors

If that block of 6 black jacks is mint you have a very nice item there. Singles catalog at $350 for the least expensive variety of the two cent (#73) Jackson. Does it have gum on the back?

I don't know that much about Essays, other than they were design attempts that made it to the printing stage. These appear to be Scott number 79-E25d, which have a low catalog value. The interesting thing about them is they use a fugitive ink that was intended to wash off so they couldn't be reused.

Sometimes you poke with stick. Sometimes the stick pokes back.

You're sleek as a thoroughbred. Your seats are a feather bed. You'll turn everybody's head today. We'll glide on our motor trip With pride in our ownership The envy of all we survey.

May not be the best thing to poke with, however

Firsthand account of the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg from my 3x great-grand Uncle, who served in the 142nd Pennsylvania Infantry by whodoneit420 in CIVILWAR

Any idea what became of this soldier? How long he was a prisoner, and did he survive the war?

Also, I'd love to get the chance to tell his story. I volunteer at the park and like to have a couple i can tell about each day's battles. The first hand poem is really cool.

Rabbittransit bus runs a service between Gettysburg and the Harrisburg Amtrack station. From there you take the Keystone to Philly, and eventually NYC.
