/0 Comments/in /by

A December 4, 1905 cover from Maurer, NJ, which is also shown below with the inside invitation to a Metzelsuppe visible.

A pretty little letter sheet invitation from a local hotel in Maurer (now part of Perth Amboy, Middlesex County), NJ turned up at the Garfield-Perry Show in Cleveland, in JWF (Jim Faber’s) stock.
