Picked this up at a yard sale in Belmont, MA, this past summer. The 1-cent stamp designation and non-divided back indicates it's from prior to 1908, according to what I read online.

The kicker for me was that it was to "Mr. Taylor," and from "Mr. Gibson"!

You may be right! I read that little loopy flourish after the "R" as just that, but it could an 'S".

Some people claim they can tell gender by handwriting. This says "male" to me, but I can't for the life of me say why!
