One of my favorite kind of notes from the past. And from the look of the post it note paper,...not too far in the past.
Still, I do love a mystery.

Of course the irony of printing even more stamps without a bridge in commemoration of said bridge; to avoid the few stamps printed without a bridge commemorating the aforementioned bridge...

Harris discovered a number of Canal Zone stamps wherein the silver die had been omitted. (The bridge.)
The Post Office solution would be to issue a quantity of stamps omitting the bridge thus halting a philatelic rarity.
Harris sued. He won.
Which means most of us get to see the bridge.

Ça a l'air plutôt amusant, en fait. Rien n'a changé ici... juste quelques enveloppes postales comme d'habitude.

The '29 Curtiss Wright balance sheet at 26 million in assets as flight and airmail contracts flourish, and the Douglas DC series of aircraft - but not to oversimplify or dismiss Boeing (or others)....

Two and a quarter million in assets...and the crash of '29 around the corner.

An 1860's album ...the individual stamps aren't illustrated...but the album is beautiful in its illustration.
At that point maybe there were a couple thousand stamps worldwide? Just a guess.
Generation 2 would be asking for profuse illustrations and I wouldn't try to guess the number of stamps.
