A horse racing souvenir cover from Columbus Mississippi.



The reverse (or is it the front) in the shape of a bag. The tag says "In the Bag"!

So what is in the bag?

Can anybody guess?

If the boss permits, I will find a "little" prize for the correct answer & another for the most inventive answer!

One guess per stampboarder & it ends when someone correctly guesses what is inside?

There was a lawsuit about all this in the 1939 case of Jackson vs Quickslip Co.:

Inside the envelope were a pair of doll’s rubber panties, imprinted with the words “So What”.

Brad,

Thanks for the "prizes". The covers are great. The postcard from the Belmont Stakes is nice. This race takes place quite close to where I live. Elmont, NY is just 11 miles (about 18km)from my house. (Although I've never been there.)

Hello Marty

Glad the prizes arrived safely. Orb won this years Kentucky Derby & I believe is headed for The Preakness. Should he win that undoubtedly he will head to Elmont for The Belmont Stakes. It is 40 years since Secretariat won The Triple Crown & 35 years since Affirmed did it (& he was the last to do it). So to be there should Orb do it will be quite surreal.

Brad

I very recently finished reading "Seabiscuit" by Hillenbrand, I recommend it if you haven't already read it.

I thought you were joking, until I scrolled down to the next post!
