Bob sent me a birthday card and I found it to be alive! So a dead letter would be the opposite I would guess. Why didn’t I get a card from YOU?

Mom was a postmaster at a small office. I remember that a letter that was undeliverable because the address couldn't be read. The letter would go to the dead letter office where they would try to find its destination or origin by any means. Including opening it to find an alternative inside. If I write a letter now I always include an address inside just in case.

I've tried them on when they've previously landed in the Shop, link and on a recent visit to the Zenith Manufacture link in Le Locle, while I was in Switzerland for Geneva Auction Week, I was able to handle a nearly identical link example owned by Romain Marietta, the Head of Product Development and Heritage Director at Zenith.
