"It's now government property," he said.

Yes ol' master. I worship thee Government.

Leave it to a Broward county blue hair Dem to do something this stupid. Probably a widow who found now dead husband's stamp collection and thought she was saving a trip to the post office to buy new stamps.

Why is it always Broward County Florida???? Is it something in the water? The air? Not in the skulls of its citizens?

Back then you probably could have mailed a 5 pound package with that 24-cent stamp.

Rodstrom said he doubted the stamp would ever be handed over to someone claiming to have mailed it inadvertently.

If it was mailed to me I'd give it back under the condition I get a taste if the rightful owner ever auctioned it off.

ML/NJ

I'm sure it was not a vote for Katherine Harris. So I am happy about it.

I actually think the sender COULD prove it... by comparing the claimant's DNA with the DNA on the back of the licked stamp...

Nope. It was for a one ounce, first class, AIR MAIL delivery... hence the Jenny. We once paid a premium for air mail's speed of getting to its destination.

I agree a lot of older people have valuable stuff that they don't even realize it's valuable. To them it's just "junk."

I hope it was a vote for the Democrats. Only Democrats could be that stupid.

Something quite similair happened to me back in my college days when I worked as a cashier in a grocery store. A gentleman paid me half in quaters telling me he needed to empty out the change that had been collecting up in his basement. Noticing some of the quarters had strange markings, I took four of them and found out they were standing liberty quarters.

I still have them :)

I worked with a guy who lived there a long time and he laughs about it, he says they do call it "Flori-duh" for a reason.

The ballot probably had an inadvertent vote for Pat Buchanan.
