The newest addition to the ever expanding postal history collection-
a stampless envelope dated 16 October (1847) postmarked in Boston MA, with the amount of postage marked within the cancellation.
All in all, a nice, clean example, considering it's almost 180 years old!

a Christmas present, from me to me 😉
a mid 19th century envelope, with a Nashville TN postmark aldng with a 5 enclosed in a ring, denoting the postage paid to deliver to Russleville KY.
