Some ideas for you Sheryll:
- an item that was forwarded at least three times before it found the addressee
- an item was traveling IN the mails during the turn of a century
- an item that reflects a change of borders between countries - bonus points for less time between the item's postmarks and the event that changed borders.
- something that features a volcano (in honor of Jim W-S)
- an item that shows a stamp where the stamp had a value OTHER THAN the amount printed on the stamp for postage
- an item that shows or references Genghis Khan.
- something that features the use of a private stamp separation device or perforation
- an item that can be shown to have traveled by three modes of transportation or more.
- an item that was sent from, to or went through Negapatam, India
- something with at least ten stamps to pay for a single letter rate
- an item that was returned by a censor at a time when the sender was in a country that was NOT at war.
- something that was mailed successfully using a forged/faked stamp
- postal evidence that a person mailed bees via the postal service
- an item that can be shown to have been on a ship that ran aground or sank
- something that was mailed from a city that ends in "berg" to a city that ends in "burg" or vice versa.
- some postal history item that has anything to do with Mantove/Mantua Italy.
- an item that shows payment of a late fee of some sort with a postage stamp
- an item that shows a marking showing a delay in the mail because the item was received too late to take the scheduled mail transport
- an item that shows a triple letter rate. Bonus if this rate is not to an internal destination.
- show a newspaper or portion of a newspaper with a stamp used to show postage for mailing
- show an item that tries to use a cut square from a preprinted envelope for mailing. Bonus if it shows a postal service saying it is invalid for postage.
I hope this helps.
