Pennsylvania Postal History — A Gallery of Members' Covers

From time-to-time we will display interesting covers showing various aspects of Pennsylvania postal history. The covers are submitted by and are owned by members of PaPHS who have generously agreed to share with all members their philatelic holdings. By doing so, the members who have submitted covers have not agreed to waive or give up any legal rights they might hold with respect to the displayed covers, including, without limitation, any rights under statutory or common law copyright laws.
