We live an hour from New Haven and picked this up at an estate sale about 35 -40 years ago.  Story was the deceased homeowner or one of the immediate family worked at Winchester.  I have narrowed it down to 1910-1915 as thats when G.E. Hodson was President.  They only had this one sheet, and its looks to be in pristine condition. (I slipped it into a protective plastic cover and it’s been in a climate-controlled room since I purchased it.). Don’t think we paid a lot for it, and having it so long I kind of forgot about it.  Just curious if this carries any value?  Thanks for any input here.

218Bee,

In most cases there’s a value or buyer for everything. IMO!

Especially for many of us Winchester Collectors. I could see someone displaying this with their Winchester Collectables, or even in a frame, amongst they’re Winchesters in a gun or Hobby environment or room.

Our resident WACA members Gary and Jenifer Gole, collectors are known for their experience in these types of things. They could possibly place a better value on it than most. Not that they’d pay the most for it, but just help with an approximate value. Not knocking them at all, but everyone likes a deal, as most all of us Collectors do.

You might do better here first from a private Collector, or even on eBay. IMHO!

Here’s their add, from the back of the Collector Magazine.

The envelopes from the same time period go for $50 to $125. I have seen the exact envelope with the Rice Leaders of the World Association emblem sell on eBay. I own 1 of them and would be interested in the letter if you wish to sell it. Just let me know. Thanks, Buck
