I recently bought a box of philatelic odds & ends from an estate sale. The box included an envelope from the Lexington Stamp Co. in NYC but the Lexington address is crossed out and rubber stamped : Jos Strauss 116 Nassau St. New York, NY. It was probably stamped by Strauss himself since according to Herst, Strauss worked alone. later Strauss sold his business and disappeared.
