Raymond Henry Weill (September 2, 1913 - April 21, 2003), of New Orleans, Louisiana, and his brother Roger G. Weill, were famous dealers of rare postage stamps, commonly referred to as the Weill brothers. ==Selling rare stamps== The Weill brothers, and their father Fernand, in 1932 opened their philatelic store at 407 Royal Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. They quickly gained a reputation of selling the rarest of postage stamps but also served and encouraged youngsters who visited their stamp store. Raymond loved to travel and would travel to review and purchase stamp collections throughout the country, while Roger preferred to remain tending the shop. Some of the most important collections known in philately, including those built by the brothers themselves, were sold by the Weill brothers. Some of the famous rare postage stamps sold through the Weill brothers include the famous cover bearing two 1-penny Post Office Mauritius stamps from the collection of Louise Boyd Dale.〔http://www.helenmorgan.net/bm/biogs/E000019b.htm〕 The cover sold through a Harmer auction in 1968 for the sum of $380,000.00, the highest sum ever recorded for the sale of a philatelic item up to that time.
