A Montgomery Ward cover, possibly a potential new customer requesting a catalogue with this short-paid letter.

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.

1907 - Suva, Fiji Islands to San Francisco, California, US

So, the collector was moving around Praslin posting postage due mail to his post office box in Victoria. Similar item seen earlier.

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. The letter was missent to Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, arriving on October 24, where it was rerouted to Christmas Island, Pacific Ocean.

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!

11 September

1876 - Washington, District of Columbia, US to Montevideo, Uruguay

Via New York and London, England. Commodore Caldwell was stationed in Montevideo for in parts of 1876 & 1877. The stamp is listed as United States official # 43 in StampWorld.com and was first issued in 1873.





1896 - Zanzibar local delivery


This cover contains 13 of the first 15 stamps issued for.Zanzibar I wondered if this was just a handback favor arrangement or something else. That something else maybe was a means of an individual introducing themselves to Smith & McKenzie in the hopes of doing business. This might be the case given it was addressed to the firm and not an individual. The cover would have grabbed someone's attention at the firm, which was involved in shipping, commerce and colonial logistics. Missing from the cover is a three-anna stamp (SW#6) and the first one-rupee stamp (SW#11). The latter is a scarcer item.

Good morning.

Rainrainbow, actually the Navy Department cover is pretty scarce itself. Of the 10,000 24 cent Navy Department stamps printed, only 106 of them were sold. This information is from The Postage Stamps of the United States by John N. Luff, (the Goppip reprint). The Scott catalogue number for that stamp is O43.

I have four today.

Hopland,



Fort Bragg, a familiar correspondent from her daughter...the message is interesting.





Mendocino,



and Eureka & S. F. RPO, this cover is two days late for a First Day Cover



Edit to add First Day information.
