    They have rather battered Whitehead and Hoag envelope and card stiffener.
    They were left amongst my Great Grandparents effects, in good condition and I am trying to find out more about them, whether they are collect able, have a value.......
    My grandparents left England around 1905 and settled for some time in Illinois.
    Does anyone know anything about the subject......were they something to do with a union ? My great grandfather was a railway design engineer.

      from what I can find, Whitehead & Hoag was in business from 1892-1957.Hope this helps!
      And from the looks of e-bay (sold listings) there are some collectors out there looking for Streator ILL. items.
