I collect most of California's Redwood Empire , Humboldt & Mendocino counties, including the RPOs that ran through them. Any town or city I mention is located in one or the other.
My primary sources are
California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 compiled by John H. Williams & the Western Cover Society
Mobil Post Office Society RPO Catalog, MPOS U. S. Route and Station Agent Catalog, and the MPOS RPO Directory and AGT Directory

August 4 1962 - North Brookfield, Mass. to Worcester, Mass.   A special delivery letter that arrived the following day. The towns are 35 miles apart.
1944 - Georgetown, Cayman Islands to Willemstad, Curacao.  This letter took 61 days to reach its destination. This registered letter was posted on August 4 in Georgetown. The slug for August (AU) is inverted. It passed through Kingston, Jamaica but we cannot see a date. It then passed through Panama on September 29. I can detect a receiving mark of 4 October inside the Willemstad postmark. ImageSleuth confirmed what I thought I saw. This was wartime and another possible delay could have been tropical storms, as it was hurricane season. |
