On September 8th, I won an estate sale auction, and I’m so excited to share my find! The auction included a suitcase and four sweater-sized plastic containers filled with vintage envelopes, but there were unexpected treasures as well. Hidden among the envelopes, I discovered a journal, war tax jewelry records, and a fascinating collection of canceled stamps.

There are even slips of paper detailing the whereabouts of Charles Windau, his family, and friends. Now, you can join in the fun! Help me research and uncover more about Charles Windau and the intriguing history behind these items. Let’s piece together their story!

To start, here is a link to a great article by Numismaticmall.com all about Charles A. Windau.
