Missed this Garberville cover yesterday,

Fort Bragg, this is FB's first known postmark. Fort Bragg was opened three times, Feb 15,1858 to Jul 30, 1858, No postmarks known Jan 15,1861 to Jun 9, 1862, No postmarks known and Nov 11,1885 and is still open.
I posted an earlier strike of this CDS (Men-1250) on Feb 15, 2026, but did not post the usage dates.
https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=149#846952 California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 records those dates as Dec 8, 1886 to
Jul 19,1887.
Point Arena,
and Fort Bragg.
