I can remember both sending and receiving air mail letters similar to these and that was many many years ago, back in the Sixties.
So when I came across a bunch at a sale I trotted along to the post office and learned that I could indeed still send them – in Canada there is more than enough postage for them to go – by air, of course! – and I could even add a page or two inside.
To the US or abroad I would have to add extra stamps.
Next I googled to see when these would have been issued and came up with 1985 – but that was with 68 cents postage. Hmmm?
In any case it is going to be fun sending them to people.
Merry Christmas Eve!

You always manage to find the most interesting things at sales. I remember sending and receiving these air letters. I also remember the pads of air mail paper. Now and then I use the air mail envelopes but I think they are even vanishing from the shelves.
