The French phrase for “love letter” must have been in common use at the time for a company to use it like that. The Number 2 envelope, measuring slightly smaller than the Ladies Note at 2 ½ x 4 ¼ was called “Billet-Doux Size”. Such a description today would most likely cause protests. Presumably the ladies of the day used smaller notes. The Number 3 envelope measuring 2- 5/8 x 4 ¾ was called “Ladies’ Note Size”. Some of the descriptions are quaint and reflect the times. That term is still used by some companies today but rarely. The larger envelopes: #10 size and up what we now refer to as letter-size envelopes are called “Official Size”. Business to business mail was not common at the time. Those were the days when most people actually wrote letters and mailed them to their friends and family. As I’ve mentioned, during this period, most envelopes were made for personal use. They were designed to be compatible with what was the common notepaper size of the day. The numbers 11, 12 and 14 (interesting that there wasn’t a number 13 then or now - I’m guessing it must have something to do with superstition) are all within an eighth or a quarter inch or so in both dimensions. That is the only envelope size on the chart which matches what we use today. Raynor lists the #10 which he calls “Bond Size” as 4 1/8 x 9 ½. In 1876, Samuel Raynor came out with chart that listed the various sizes they offered using the numbering system that has mostly carried over to what we use today. That would not necessarily be the size you got if you ordered some #9s from a different company. So if you ordered a #9 envelope from Samuel Raynor you’d get one that measured 4 x 8 ¾”. At that time, envelope sizes had not yet been standardized among manufacturers. Looking for something else?
