Shipping weight is about 2 pounds, so I prefer entries from the USA.

Not an entry. But would like to say thank you for the kind gesture.

[mhguda]

Not an entry, but please clear up for me: I can't read that! WHAT are the initials? JSR? IJR? (just curious).

Very nice gesture. Wish mine matched...

[mitto]

Looks JSR.

[PaulS]

I would agree JSR.

[mhguda]

thanks...

I was thinking that it's actually a P not an S. And since it's the largest, and central letter it might actually be JRP (P being for the surname of the original owner of the paper; I have a Dover book on monograms that I think was a reprint of a Victorian or Edwardian book).

Yes, I was always that much of a geek.... I've had the book since I was maybe ten or twelve, along with another one that was a reprint of a book of illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley.

Hmmm... yes, I can see that too. JPR, that is.

[Octo]

The middle (largest) letter represents the last name.

 

If you recognize the initials as your own, indicate that here.

 

They are not my initials. I simply bought the stationery at the end of an estate sale to put it into the hands of someone who would value it rather than seeing it go into the trash.

I think it's a P too.

That's the way I write my "i" and my "P"s... so for me, I clearly understood "I P R"

 

 

 

I have never seen an "S" like that, and if it is a J... I would imagine the curve at the bottom would be much bigger than the one at the top.

BUMP

 

Does nobody want this offer?

[Misfit]

Not even close to my initials, but a sticker could cover some of the monogram perhaps.

 

I’m a letter writer, so I guess this is an entry.

[ParramattaPaul]

G R S

[Tas]

I think the initials clearly say T A S

 

If you let me know what shipping to the UK costs I'd be up for it if no one else is. Thank you . . .

[Misfit]

I’d share it with Tas if that was an option.

[Cyber6]

YOU ARE RIGHT TAS!!!... I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT!!!

Open to anyone, now, with preference to those whose initials these actually are. New deadline is September 17, 2018.

[mhguda]

well, mine aren't even close, but I do like stationery and ask that I be considered to receive the PIF.

I would make good use of it, even if the initials are wrong for me.

[Runnin_Ute]

I see I or J R P - not close (BWM)
