Here's a lot that you patriotic envelope collectors have been looking for!  Three beautiful 19th Corps covers, each with a slightly different 19th Corps cross. This style is pictured in Weiss and is fairly rare. As you can see in the scans, these covers are used, postmarked, stamped and cancelled. (Always desireable!) The back flaps remain, though the covers have obviously been opened. Mounting residue is present on the backs of each, but this does not detract.  I believe these were part of the recent Risvold Auction in New York City.

 

If you want to build a collection of every style of patriotic "Corps Badge" cover, you'd be wise to snap these up. The 19th Corps envelopes are fairly scarce to begin with.  And the 19th Corps cross is presented differently on various covers.  I believe the estimate on these was somewhere in the neighborhood of $250 each.  I am offering them to you as follows:

 

If you want to purchase all three, you may have the entire lot for $275.00 plus shipping. If you want them individually, it's your choice at $100.00 apiece.  That's a great price individually...and a savings of an additional 25 bucks if you buy the lot.  Sound like a deal?
