Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

Good morning, six for today.

Upper Mattole, This office was open for 72 years, opened Dec1 1871 and closed Apr 30 1943. California Town Postmarks 18850 - 1935 records this CDS as Hum-4910 used from Jul 24 1888 to Mar 26 1894. The strike below is 4 years and 11 months earlier! Posted 8/13/2015.



Ukiah & San Fran. RPO, Aug 86, 1895? The date is confusing. We'll check the back.


Here we are, Aug 13th.


Fruitland,



Blocksburg,



Grizzly Bluff, on a RPPC of the Pacidic Lumber Co. mill at Scotia.





and Fishrock,

Good morning, just two today.
In 2015, August was my busiest month, I posted 58 covers and cards. 14 days into August, these two entries bring my August total up to 80 covers or cards already posted.

Mendocino has 3 fancy postmarks, Men-2345 thru Men-2360.
Cataloged as Men-2350, this is Mendocino's 2nd octagon CDS.
Men-2340 has only one-use date listed, May 6 1875* In California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 the asterisk indicates an approximate date.
Men-2360 is their Town and County CDS.



Eureka, on a RPPC of Eureka's business section, according to the message. Looks like J. A. Meiser (the photographer) has trouble squaring his photo on the card.

Good morning, six for today.

Ukiah & San Fran. RPO, with a hand stamped corner card,



Willits,



Mendocino,



Albion,



Branscomb,



and Ferndale, the 55th Humboldt County Fair.

Good morning, six for today.

Iversen, Reg was posted 8/16/2015, front only but the back shows Santa Cruz SCR-1630 Aug18 1907 which is 2 years and 6 months earlier than the only other recorded use.
In a personal note, this town was named after my grandmother's great uncle.



SCR-1630 is a large Registered Clock, 2c 32 23.5 mm 10L. Although California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935 only lists Feb 2 1910 as a use date, it is rated a 2 on their rarity scale. Quite ornate, but you'll have to turn your head to see it.



Eureka & Scotia RPO,



Fort Bragg, Having a problem with this file; it was scanned 7/11/21 but I lost scans from 7/1/2019 to 8/29/2019 when I transferred the scanned files to new computer.
It was posted twice on 12/7/2014 and 8/19/2015 but cropped both posts. Here's the crop.



Fortuna, posted 8/19/2015



Longvale,



and Willits.



Edit; changed a t for a n (that to than)

Good morning, five today.

Fort Bragg,



Comfort,



inbound Redwine, can't read the origin CDS, but Redwine used their Doane to give us a date. It was 8 days in the mail stream.



Elinor, an 8 year town, opened May 1 1906 and closed Jan 15 1914. CTP 1850 - 1935 lists two postmarks, Hum-1540, a Doane used up till Jun 9 1911 and Hum-1550 which has Jun 8 1912 as it's only use date.



and Arcata & Elinor RPO.

I should have included this in my earlier post. Instead, I'm replying because it's too much for an edit.
Here a quote from my Jun 22 post earlier this year, here:

The Atcata & Elinor Aug 17 1914 postmark in the previous post is 14 days after the earliest Arcata & Dyerville I have, shown here, 4th of the 5,

https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=167#853877

I wonder if such an overlap was common or did the RPO crew misplace the new RPO post marker?
There must have been more than just one device as the Arcata & Elinor Aug 17 1914 postmark says TR12.
