Good morning, another missed cover yesterday and three for today.

Missed this Garberville cover yesterday,



Fort Bragg, ex W. Tatham (?)


I posted an earlier strike of this CDS (Men-1250) on Feb 15, 2026, but did not post the usage dates.

California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 records those dates as Dec 8, 1886 to Jul 19,1887.





Point Arena,



and Fort Bragg.

July 20

1901 - Libreville, French Congo to Frankfurt (Main) Germany


It took 45 days to reach London, England and another day to be in Frankfurt




1890 - Falkland Islands to Smeet, near Ashbury, England

It took 46 days to reach Southhampton.

Good morning, eight for today!

Scotia, this probably looks familiar as I showed another very similar cover 3 days ago.



Frank,



Christine, a 1905 postal card with no other message than the pleasant though amateur watercolor. Of course, both sides.





Duffey,



Loleta,



Hopland, Rainrainbow, the next 3 cards may be a bit difficult to read.



Eureka pc, with a 1921 "Save the Redwoods" slogan cancel,



and the oddly abbreviated Eureka & San Fra. RPO.



Edit to add message.

littleriverphil - I am always up for those challenging post cards

1897 - Kingstown, St. Vincent to Nymphenberg, Bavaria


A redirected registered letter. The addressee was a stamp dealer and is well documented. Otto Bickel was honored by San Marino in 1997 with a stamp as a part of the set of 4 stamps for the 120th Anniversary of the first San Marino Stamp (S.G.1618-21).





1899 - Kingstown, St. Vincent to Ballineen, Cork, Ireland



A registered cover with a colorful selection of Victorian stamps.
In 1902, the addressee died by what was thought to be an accident. However, the coroner determined William Bell was murdered. He was decapitated. His sexton, the caretaker at the Kilmeen Rectory suspected his wife was having an affair with the good reverend. The case remains one of West Cork's infamous crime stories.



1954 - Agboville, Ivory Coast, French West Africa to Chicago, Il., USA

An insufficiently prepaid letter to the magic supply company, De Laurence. ImageSleuth helped with determining the year date and the town name. The commerative stamp of French West Africa was issued in 1953.

Good morning, six for today.

Willits,



Washington, DC inbound Arcata: Dept. of the Interior; Bureau of Pensions.





Hardy,



Northspur,



Willits,



and Covelo.

22 July


1935 - Shinyanga, Tanganyika to London, England


An uprated postage stationery item.






1958 - Ghana - domestic mail between Birim Road post office and Kade



Writing a gold smith but not putting the proper amount of postage on the letter.

Good morning, just three today.

Mendocino,



Northspur,



and Santa Rosa & Duncan's Mills RPO,



I'm reposting the MPOS listing of this Cazadero & San Fran. Short run to point out that this was a short lived Short Run line, and that they aren't real common. The IV is a value or rarity guide.



Also, although these two are only 4 days apart, they do show a distinctive "dent" on the left side of the CDS. Since I only have the two of them, I have no idea if this CDS was replaced or repaired. I'll let you know when I've found more of them.
