25 September 1905 - Kuching, Sarawak to Rorschach, Switzerland By the steamship the Rajah of Sarawak. An uprated postal card. 1909 - Guatemala to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US. The stamp on the envelope was issued in 1902, and the Cosmopolitan Correspondence Club was active from 1903 onward through the decade. Unfortunately, the year date was not a clear impression. 1858 - Prince Edward Island to Wood Island From somewhere on Prince Edward Island, most likely the capital, to Wood Island which is located on the south-east corner of the P.E.I.  Showing the location of Wood Island. 1956 - Majuro, Marshall Islands to Barnet, England |

27 September 1959 - 110 mile mark on Potaro River, British Guiana to Woking, England Deciphering the town name on this postmark is a challenge. I did find another strike on a different cover which lead to figuring it out. Here is that other strike: 110MLS POTARO BRITISH GUIANA If anyone has a clear strike of this postmark, kindly feel free to post it.  I tried to pinpoint the location of this post office, deep in the jungle of Guyana. However, as the Potaro River flows into the Essequibo River, I am uncertain to know where to begin counting off the 110 miles. Also, I was unable to find a reference to its location online. The red mark on the map indicates the location of the Potaro River.1880 - Kohala, Hawaiian Islands to Ann Arbor, Michigan, US. The letter passed through Honolulu on 27 September. |
