Once, I purchased a box lot at an auction for $1. This beautiful, old stationery was included. It is from one of the finest stationers in Paris. Casselgrain has been in business since 1919 and is still located at 422 Rue Saint-Honore, one of Paris' most exclusive areas. The picture above is from the box. The beautiful greeny-blue has yellowed with age and has some brown spots but that only makes it more precious to me. Who knows? It may become a rare antiquity since no one seems to take the time to write letters anymore.
The box contained the paper pictured above and matching envelopes.
This type is on the back of the box.
