BINGO...Tom, but only if that postmark is Jan 5, 1965..My eyes can't make out if its Jan or Jun.
The White Plains Stamp show is always held the first weekend in January..The winter show...
The show is in its 48th year, so 1965 would have been the 4th year
and is held at the Westchester County center |

Here's another cover from Madagascar to Missouri, front canceled 30-12-1952.....back canceled 4-1-1953 (possibly over weight & more postage added ??) received in St. Louis Jan. 30, 1953.....30 days in transit. Total of 20 stamps ! 7 airmails (one has an overprint) and 2 tax stamps.......15 cancels !! (one is receiver) .........For $2.00 I couldn't resist it.   |
