OFFERED: is a vintage and original letterhead of B. H. Collins of Washington, D. C., dealer in coins, antiques, and curios (and apparently, fractional currency, Continental and Colonial notes, Confederate Sate notes, and medals. The letter is dated in 1905, and is addressed to A. B. Capron of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress. The hand-written letter, signed by Mr. Collins, concerns fractional currency for the Honorable Charles H. Page (of Rhode Island; please see research below). Along with the most reasonable prices listed in the letter is a pin attached fractional currency price list, with equally reasonable prices. Certainly, these two documents offer a wonderful, century old look at fractional currency collecting back then…and oh those prices. Charles Page was a prominent Rhode Island politician, and a veteran of the Civil War (please see research below). CONDITION: nice with horizontal folds, moderate wear and patina BUYER INFORMATION: I DO NOT USE PAYPAL. (I know…please don’t chastise me…I’m just old-fashioned.

If you do not receive my email in your in-box, please check your email filters (“Junk Mail”), as my emails may sometimes go there due to the leader in my email address. PLEASE NOTE, REGARDING INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: I would be happy to ship to foreign countries, and have done so many times in the past. However, I DO NOT use PayPal. Thus, if an international bidder would really like to purchase something in one of my auctions, they will now have to make their own arrangements for payment. Please email me before the end of the auction with your suggestion, or to discuss the matter. I will certainly entertain the possibility of all options prior to the end of the auction. I will still ship to foreign countries. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but again, I DO NOT use PayPal. As always, I will continue to accept a Canadian POSTAL Money Order. Please note that I do not use second chance offers, so if you receive one regarding one of my items that does not sell, it is a SCAM. I do not end my auctions early to accept offers for purchase. I very rarely re-list items that do not sell on eBay, as I have other venues by which to offer them. Please check my feedback, bid if you wish, and send funds with confidence…I’m from the “Old School”. Thank you for your participation.
