A.1.Waste Paper Co. Ltd. - Envelope

An envelope that was sent to H.R. Fricker and returned for some reason- maybe because of the unfranked stamps? This must have been late 80's as the Michael Scott memorial rubber stamp that I carved must have been after his death in 1988. I also carved the shaking hands stamp from an eraser.

Vittore sent me this nice documentation of the hat. Further documentation is promised. Carlos Botana made the postcard in the foreground. I can't quite see the others.
