Leon, many thanks, bro, for your painstaking time and trouble to load up these priceless card hobby artifacts from the past. Very interesting.

I picked up this envelope that once contained correspondence from Tommy Leach to John D.Wagner. Unfortunately, it does not have it's original contents.

You are welcome!! And thanks for posting the envelope, Marshall. It is scarce in itself. Here are some more...(I will try to make the scans larger larger later when Yahoo webhosting comes back up)

Some more letters received from ads placed in Hobbies Magazine in the mid to later 1930s....

Would love to find the letter that was in this envelope.

That is a neat one for sure and would love to see what Clarke wrote. Here are a few more. These letters make it seem casual to be able to see this correspondence but in my years I haven't seen a lot of it this early. Happy reading...

The first letter is in quite the collecting spirit.

And after those 2 pages a few more early hobby letters with the first letter being the recommendation to send the second one.

Wonder if it had this card inside it!

Here is another letter to Wagner from 1939. There are quite a few in this thread but I believe these kind of (very early) hobby letters are very, very rare.
