Hello I want to share this postcard , I need suggestions remember I am from Argentina





thanks!

This is an American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) location card. These were sent by the soldiers to the family. This was free soldiers mail with a duplex APO 720 cancel and censor stamp #1094

Thanks Russ,

is this a common type?

Regards.

This type of material is scarcer than the value would indicate. They are becoming more popular and the value will increase. The duplex cancels are $10-$25. Yours has a clear strike of both the cancel and the censor stamp so it is probably valued about $20.
Here is an example with the APO number in the duplex killer (APO 709) with a value of about $20.



The machine cancels are much rarer especially with the APO in the flag. Here is an example (APO 701) value $75-$100.

Thanks, you are book!
