    1. a law, ordinance, etc., that has lost its force but has not been formally repealed or abolished.


    2.a letter that cannot reach the addressee or be returned to the sender,usually because of incorrect address that is sent to and handled in a special division or department (dead-letter office) of a general post office.

    Number one intrest me,I think it last for 12 years,,

    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?

    I got carried away and thought i was playing Bingo,and put legs eleven on the envelope,,your number must be different,,,,,

    You get a letter Hec,poke it with a stick,if it moves it is alive,if it dont,it is dead,,<<<<<<>>>>>>>>..""

    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.

    Including the address inside is an old way of writing a letter,,when i was a kid we were taught to put name and address of person you are sending the letter to in top left hand corner and bottom right corner return address..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

    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.
