Hi Bobgggg

I didn't get the cover at the club, but it was at one of the Hamilton Stamp Shows. It was 15 years ago or so, and I think that the dealer has since passed away. He had a few similar covers, but that one just caught my eye.

Sure a lot of nice covers being shown. I especially like the Papua New Guinea.

From Wikipedia.........Franking (or "franks") are any and all devices or markings such as postage stamps (including printed and/or embossed on postal stationery), printed or stamped impressions, codings, labels, manuscript writings (including "privilege" signatures), and/or any other authorized form of markings affixed or applied to mails to qualify them to be postally serviced.

Hello bobgggg......


This really presented a serious challenge.....to choose just one....


Of the covers I already have photos of......and after much deliberation.....this week I choose this not so great somewhat tattered, inexpensive cover. It's a fairly common advertising type Civil War Era cover with a #65.....except that, it just happens to be canceled the day Abraham Lincoln died.

I'm not sure this is my favorite. It is a cutie.
I haven't shown this one to anyone (including the Mrs.)

Just how many rabbits does that hat have Tom?

It is always a great pleasure to see such great covers from Tom. And to top it off many that he has shown we get a little Postal history with them. Very nice, hope to see the next rabbit soon.
