My smallest can hardly be called a ladies cover since it was sent to Alexander Stewart. 4.375 x 1.875 inches (111 x 47 mm)  |

Quick question: What does the "M.S." stand for on that Chicago cancel? I haven't seen one before.

Here is a tiny little feller weighing in at 3" X 4". The CDS and Stamps show the size pretty well  |

Thanks Russ. It is unfortunate that modern machine cancels aren't up to that standard! |

Builderr: The "Missent" handstamp was applied when the cover ended up at a post office it wasn't supposed to be at. It was used to explain a possible delay in the transport of the envelope. Generally, and in this case, there is something that shows which office applied the handstamp. It's a little hard to tell, but it appears that your cover was sent from Portsmouth to North Edgecomb, but ended up passing through Bath(?). Bath would have applied the handstamo and the datestamp and sent it on its way. Here's another Missent cover: http://www.cgpostal.com/12cent/slide30.jpg |
