Horton St., T.A. Forsberg, 1960s

This stamp is near the north end of Horton, on the east side of the street. I intended to present it as illegible, but when I got home and looked at the photograph I suddenly realized I could recognize it after all. Sometimes the camera sees something that I can’t see with my eyes. It’s definitely a T.A. Forsberg stamp. I’m not sure of the last digit of the date, which otherwise appears to be 1960s.

This is about as worn as a stamp can get and still be readable at all. It’s almost gone, lost to history.

S. Francis Ave., T.A. Forsberg, 1962

This barely-visible stamp is on the east side of South Francis Avenue between Michigan and Prospect. Although it’s not much to look at, I thought I would record it because I haven’t collected many from Francis and because it’s not going to be legible much longer. It’s just possible to make it out as a T.A. Forsberg stamp from 1962, and only because I can compare it to other Forsbergs I’ve seen.
