I had just run across this #236 on cover and I just had to have it, so I snagged it. I know it's sort of ugly but I will give it a good home and very much appreciate it although my beautiful wife will probably kill me for buying it but what can you do, I had to have it. I like it. Anyhow any thoughts and opinions are much appreciated. -Jeff P.S.These are the sellers images and the link to the auction is here: www.ebay.com/itm/281140285401?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648Front: Back:

Congratulations, Jay!
I don't have a 236 on cover, registered or otherwise, so I'm envious.

The design is U71 and the watermark appears to be #8. I'd call the paper amber and say the stamped envelope is Scott U312 (but I'm not a postal stationary expert by any stretch).
