Envelope Sizing
I'm very much a novice when it comes to stamps, and stamp collecting. I
have a question about cover (envelope) sizes. My father had a Scott stamp book that was from the late 1930's. Among the stamps there were two canceled Airmail covers dated May 31, 1930. They are both Scott UC1, and I can easily see the watermark 28 on one of envelopes. My problem is I can't figure out which size envelope I have. The 2005, "Scott Specialized Catalogue" makes reference to three different size envelopes (#5, #8, and #13). Thinking logically, I would think the #5 is the smallest and #13 would be the largest. From what I can tell from the Web, logic is thrown out the window. I can not find any definitive information about the dimensions of the envelopes, or how the sizes are determined. From pictures I have found from various online auctions, it appears that the size 5, and size 13 are the same size. It seems the size 8 is longer then the others. Is there a place that gives this type of information. Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Regards, twillers |
