I can remember, not the 1870’s however, when people would include postage stamps in a package or return mail as change for over-payment in leu of cash or coins.

It's nice to see some of these old threads come to the surface again especially when they are showing such fine old knives.
That is a beautiful knife, John. The blades look like they were scarcely used.
Thanks for showing it. ::tu::
