I have acquired a small collection of stamped envelope covers overprinted for official business. Some are used, some unused. Below is a used example.



My assumption is that the enclosed item was an order form for equipment and supplies.

My Scott Specialized catalog does not make reference to these overprints, that I can see.

Okay guys, I am having a devil of a time finding this in the specialized catalog. It seems like a U93 design (Die 2), but I find no 6 cent u93's listed (or I am suffering from catalog blindness). Any ideas where I should be looking?

Take a look at U529, a 6c orange, die 7 issued in 1932.
