I love it! My friend's mother passed not long ago and in going through her possessions she found a Bible that belonged to her gggrandfather, who was a preacher in the 1800’s.The Bible had a blank page on the other side of the written word for his sermon notes. Also he had tucked in the pages pictures and old newspaper clippings, etc. She said I could look at it when I have time.

I wonder if the two stamps shown in the photo are worth anything?

 photo img044copy.jpgI recently found this old post card which was sent to my Grandmother around 1900 when she was a girl. The surprising thing to me is that it is in color. After examining the picture closely it was obviously hand colored.

The note said, “I’m here alone on a desert island in the South Pacific a thousand miles from the shipping lanes with nothing to eat but raw fish and nothing to drink but coconut milk; I’m living in a shack made of leaves and twigs, and yesterday a guy in a three-piece suit and briefcase showed up from the IRS and confiscated the shack for non-payment of taxes. Send attorney!”
