U1 (Entire), U2 (Front). Used examples of the world's first postal stationery envelopes, the 1 Penny (#U1) a bit toned and tatty but otherwise intact, May 1840 usage. The 2 Penny envelope (#U2), FRONT ONLY is particularly nice looking and is very rare used (Scott catalogue US$2,000.00). The combined Scott catalogue value as entires is US$2,525.00=$3,156.25 CDN. These will still make an eye-catching exhibit page.
