It's a tad (well over a hundred years) to modern to fit into my collection. Maybe the kid will want it? I just can't bring myself to stick them on an envelope they're so cool!
I collect United States Classics, classic covers, Tobacco related covers & bill-heads and World fair ephemera (prior to 1930's)
I am a letter writer, snailmail addict. I send therefore I receive. I also manage a letter writing/correspondence forum called A World of Snail Mail. I sometimes post pictures on Instagram (username morgaine_does_snail_mail) Stamp themes - science, nature, postal history, maps, nice stamps.

I like stamps for the thrills, chills, screams, and laughs.

It's beautiful, I would keep it. A couple of years ago my brother brought me some lord of the rings sets and FDCs from his trip to New Zealand and I liked them and kept them even though my main interests are French colonies before independence.
That's what is so fascinating about stamp collecting- You collect what you want, when you want. My collecting has changed over the years, from used stamps to mint and then covers and throw in the odd thematic collection and Australian postmarks. Some collections have also just died along the way- too costly to collect, material not freely available etc......
Mint stamps I bought nearly 50 years ago ( to build a collection for each of the kids), I am now using as postage since none of them are remotely interested in stamps and they haven't increased in value since that time.

I can bet you waroff49 that there are a fair number of collectors here that might be interested in some of those mint stamps... hint hint hint
Well if they let me know what they want-M or U and are willing to pay something, and I have it.....then there are endless possibilities. Most well. well below CV ( or maybe even FREE).
Treat it as a family heirloom! Pass it on to the next generation in your (extended) family if they show an interest....
