Description: Mexico to USA cover 40 cent cancelled 1937 Tampico, Tamaulipas Airmail to Sheaffer Pen Co., Ft. Madison, Iowa I am going through some of my late grandfather's possessions, and he has some interesting postage stamps and envelopes. Grandpa lived in Ft. Madison, Iowa, where Sheaffer Pen Company was and still is headquartered. At the time, fine pens like theirs were often sold in jewelry stores, so Grandpa has envelopes from lots of jewelers, bookstores and stationers around the world that must have once held payments or orders. This posted envelope was slit at the top and right edge with a letter opener to remove contents. Envelope is from El Rubi jewelry, watch and optical store in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico to W.A. Sheaffer Pen Company in Fort Madison, Iowa. 40 Cent airmail stamp is clear and in nice condition, but postmark is a bit smeary over it. Normal handling wear. Postmarked 13 September 1937 in Tampico, Tam. I will ship as soon as I receive payment.
