Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

1 October

1967 - Dubai to Stuttgart, West Germany.




1946 - Dunedin, New Zealand to Suva, Fiji and twice forwarded.

Judging by the ink, the first destination was Suva, then forwarded to Rabi (1OC46) where it was forwarded again to Hastings, New Zealand.






1951- City of Ozamiz, Philippines to Venice, Italy

Gateway to Northwestern Mindanao, the most populous city in Misamis Occidental. Trying to determine the name of the postmark was complicated when the sender truncated the name in their return address to Zamiz. The poor strike of the rubber postmark did not help either.

Good morning,
I began posting in this thread on the 6th of October 2025, so I am nearing the end of my little two County show n tell, until I add more cards and covers.

Seven for today.

Monroe,



a pair of Yosemite view cards apparently sent from Healdsburg aboard the Willits & San Fran. RPO, each with the same postmark variety!









Here are the Mobile Post Office Society's Willits & San Fran. RPO listing illustrations and the two constant varieties I have found.
Remenber that RPO postmarks are steel and anything found in or missing from is constant.



I labeled these two as I did because they looked closest to the parent U number. The variety on the above postcards stayed in use from 1904 to 1908, when it was apparently discovered and removed from circulation. U1a was a long running variety. From 1903 to Sep 30th 1914 so far...

Hardy,



Melburne, no day date, but Oct 1908,



Point Arena,



and Beatrice,

Hi littleriverphil, I have enjoyed your daily dose of armchair vacation, visiting so many tiny towns and villages that I have never heard of. That is quite an impressive collection and something that I look forward to reading each time I visit this site. Sorry to see it come to an end after a calendar year.

I also enjoy rainrainbow's worldwide selections and write-ups and maps, though I have more of a personal affinity towards the historical covers and picture postcards.

Thanks to you both, and the others who continue to keep this forum active.
