A very handsome artifact from days long gone by. What texture and patina. Like the close-up view.
Wish postal rates could be put into brass today:) Postal rates here have gone up, up, up...but then our postal system keeps losing customers to email and all the other electronic wizardry out there. The last time I paid attention, a 1oz or less envelope takes a $0.49 stamp. The year I graduated from high school (1958) the cost was $0.04.
Lovely thing to treasure :-)
Excellent !!
A real treasure indeed.
Thanks for sharing.

Made to last. I was thinking the same as Bill. I have old letters from my parents with $0.03 stamps on them.
I thought it was ridiculous when the price of mail went up to 10 cents. fab capture
Flippig heck, then again the prices reflected the day.
