The only places you will find this guy chillin' with George Washington, Ben Franklin, a horse, and a U.F.O. are in a science fiction book and my cut-square collection.  |

I have alot of Modern Postal Stationary I got in a box lot. Not sure what to do with it. At least 25 different from GB, Isle of Man, Guernsey, etc. Is it worth anything? Can it be used as postage?  |

I used to use these aerogrammes myself back in the 1980s for international correspondence originating from the U.S. I am guessing that they are still valid as postage, but utility will be limited since so few people send handwritten letters anymore.
I have never noticed these in collections before, so cannot really comment on their value to collectors. Perhaps someone else who knows more about postal stationery will be able to say more.

Edith, I really like your clever writing when making your posts--thanks! Are you interested in creative writing as a pursuit? It seems to me that you would be quite good at it.

Guess it would be hard to use these for anything but writing letters. You'd have to tape a bunch of them to a package? I notice that many have pictures of airplanes on them since they are all airmail. Here's one from GB.   |

Thank you! You are the second person to suggest that; the first person being my college English professor. Funnily enough, my high school English teacher said that I should avoid writing at all costs. Perhaps she knew that trick about telling teenagers NOT to do something... However, I am currently aiming for a degree in mechanical engineering. (I never seem to be able to choose the easy road!)  |

An engineer who can write will be a real "double threat" one day! Go where the spirit moves you, to be sure.

Don't let them dump that documentation job on you, though!

Looked in Stanley Gibbons Concise Catalogue, but can't find the number for this.  |

Looked in Stanley Gibbons Concise Catalogue, but can't find the number for this. I do not have the Gibbons catalog # but the proof was apparently made in 1860 but not issued until 1872 in lilac rose and 1874 in brown and perhaps 1892 in yellow.
It was used on a wrapper as well as an envelope
I have a note that says Furnau catalogue #26
The Alan Huggins & Colin Baker catalog is probably the best for these issues
