Recently I attended our Family reunion at Raystown Lake here in Pennsylvania, and as always the family auction started up and this particular lot caught my attention straight away. My uncle nabbed it and handed it off to me! It's neat to me as I now have a stamp related family item in my collection.
My Great Grandfather Rufus Wilson the philatelist/collector.
A cover addressed to him- Front:
Reverse:
A picture of him at a local stamp expo in Huntingdon, Pa.
Another cover and letter. I love his penmanship. He was an engineer and is said to have designed a few well known street signs we see every day. I'm not sure if that's correct or not but it's a family story anyway.
