From the listing

This is a vintage 1916 postal stationery cover featuring a printed red 2-cent George Washington stamp. The envelope includes a printed return address for the First National Bank of Media, located at the South-East Corner of State Street and South Avenue in Media, Pennsylvania.

The cover bears a clear machine postmark from Media, PA, dated June 9, 1916, at 7 PM. It is hand-addressed to a superintendent in Chute, PA. The envelope shows typical signs of age, including light toning and some wrinkling across the surface. There are small pencil notations on the front and back corners, likely from a previous collector.

This item is a great piece of local Pennsylvania postal history and early 20th-century bank advertising. The back of the envelope is plain with a standard flap and shows similar aging to the front.
