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

8 September 1941 - Hong Kong G.P.O. to Little Falls, New York, US Registered air mail. Wonder if the sender ever received his order.
1919 - Labasa, Fiji to Chicago, Illinois US A Montgomery Ward cover, possibly a potential new customer requesting a catalogue with this short-paid letter.
1902 - Cook Islands to Bourges, France via Auckland, New Zealand. An up-rated post office postal card transits through Auckland on September 8, 1902 enroute to Bourges, Cher on arriving on October 20. The card was mailed August 28. |

9 September
1907 - Suva, Fiji Islands to San Francisco, California, US Postage paid with a New Zealand stamp. 1912 - Tugali, British Solomon Islands to Sydney, Australia Registered Mail. So, is it genuine business mail or did the attorney collect stamps? |

10 September 1922 - Ferryville, Tunisia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, US
1957 - Grand Anse, Praslin, Seychelles to Victoria, Seychelles So, the collector was moving around Praslin posting postage due mail to his post office box in Victoria. Similar item seen earlier. 1901 - Seychelles to Mauritius Item is backstamped arrival in Mauritius ten days later. Post office postal stationery envelope employed for this mailing. 1963 - Singapore Airport to Christmas Island, Pacific Ocean In Singapore, the clerk saw Christmas and reacted too soon putting it in the Indian Ocean bag. From Singapore the amount of mail going to the Pacific Ocean Christmas Island would be substantially less.

Good morning, one for yesterday and 5 for today.  Fish Rock, I listed this as Sep 10th in my Cover by Decade list and Sep 9 1910 in my image file.  Back to Sep. 10th. Ukiah,  Hardy,  Indianola,   Martinez, the only hint of "Redwood Empire" is the view side of the card.   and Eureka, almost deja vu, a match for yesterday's Eureka slogan canceled card, although it was mailed 3 years later.  Was James Taylor at Woodstock? The Mrs. was!   |
