Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

Today's postmark, Mendocino's town and county CDS Williams # Men 2360 is rated a 3= scarce, in use from Apr 17 1882 to Nov 14 1887. This use is 1884, San Francisco Rec'd on back. Interesting name for a Reverend, but couldn't find any thing about him.

St. John, New Brunswick August 23, 1910 - 1c Rate to Moncton

Littleriverphil: I found this mention of Rev. James L Drum on the internet:

Thank you wt1, another nice find. Glad to know Reverend Drum was Mendocono's pastor. This view across Mendocino Bay from the south shows us the steeple on the left side, thru the fog, and and better look up Lansing St. It is a beautiful bulding and a popular subject of the 40's and 50's postcards and I think there is an Ansel Adams photo "Fog" that shows the church well.






A Melburne postmark I missed yesterday.





Today's cover is another sent to Mrs Ballenger in Cambridge City, Indiana, one of six written by the same person. An ebay deal I fell into!

Aug 24 1933 Pindamonhangaba Sao Paulo Brazil

A Little River post mark and a Trim, N.H. post mark for today.

As a New Englander, I can tell you the New Hampshire Postmark is from Antrim. The post office has been in continuous operation for more than 200 years (since 1812)! A historical note: The town was settled prior to the American Revolution, but did not receive its incorporated name until 1777. It was named for County Antrim in Ireland, which was the native home of the land's owner, Philip Riley.

Anyway, you might be interested in seeing this period piece from the Antrim, NH post office dating back to the 1880s that's for sale on ebay:

Maximilian Cover (2nd. French Empire in Mexico): Distrit/Consigment and year 6-867. Cancelation: September 16, (1867). with Number of Sub-District "Cadereyta", but cancellated in the Main Office Querétaro: There could be number of reasons for the main office cancel on a sub-office consignment. Perhaps unused stamps were returned, or the cover left Cadereyta uncanceled and the error was corrected at the main office or Cadereyta was occupied by the Republican Army and they decided in Queretaro not to send the stamps.
