Description: We go to estate sales regularly and come across a wide array of unique and rare items. We add to our growing online inventory daily. We pick up new items from all over the world and all over the US. We also have a growing customer wish list. If you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know what you collect and/or need. We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list. We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly, so check back often. There is always a Sale by TheBay! We bid on several lots of items of an online estate sale/auction for a lady who had passed away by the name of Mary Clemon Payne back in 2018. Mary Payne was the Executive Secretary for the Stone Mountain Memorial Association when it was formed to run Stone Mountain in 1958. Some of you may recall one of the trains that ran at Stone Mountain that was named The Mary Payne Train. It has since been replaced of course, but the park named it after her in her honor for her years of dedication to the park. You can read Mary's obituary online to learn more about the wonderful woman she was.Mary had a plethora of incredible Stone Mountain memorabilia and we were able to obtain quite a few very cool items, many of which are certainly one of a kind. We will be listing some items over the coming days, so if you're into Stone Mountain collectibles, we guarantee you that we'll be listing some items you are all but certain to never see for sale again. Now onto the item for sale. For sale is a Stone Mountain Memorial First Day of Issue stamped envelope that we are all but certain you won't see again.PLEASE NOTE: We have five of these available and the price you see, including shipping, is for one FDofI stamped envelope. If you want more than one, we're always happy to combine shipping based on total weight. Given how light these envelopes are, we trust several will ship for the price of one. As you can see in the pictures above, we also obtained Mary's name tag with her position of Executive Assistant on it as well and a picture of Mary looking out the window of the aforementioned The Mary Payne Train.PLEASE NOTE: The name tag and the photograph are NOT included with any envelope purchased, but are used as informational/provenance purposes only.As you can see, this envelope has a Stone Mountain Memorial stamp with a First Day of Issue cancellation that is dated September 19, 1970, meaning this envelope is a little more than 54 years old.This envelope is pretty cool and has a cool black & white image of the mountain in the background with the infamous Robert E. Lee steamboat in the lake in front of the enormous granite monolith.In case you didn't know, the Robert E. Lee was the first steamboat of Stone Mountain and was sunk in the lake shown in the pictures above. As the story goes, it took three dump trucks full of gravel to finally sink the boat.This envelope measures 6 1/2" x 3 5/8" and is in excellent condition. This item will be shipped in a padded envelope via insured ground advantage with the USPS. We put all our items that ship in padded envelopes in between cardboard for extra protection during shipping. Thanks for looking and God bless!
