Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

A 1903 corner card from Fort Bragg only newspaper. Began in 1889, this weekly newpaper is still being published.
Looks like American Type used the cover to clean their received handstamp after use.

Two cards today, one from the Humboldt coast and the other inland Mendocino county.

A nice registered use of the first bureau issue, Gualala postmark. Shame the addressee cut the cover open on the stamp end.

Shelter Cove, just a little north of Mendocino county is one of the three towns remaining in California's Lost Coast. Petrolia and Whitethorn are the other two. Mendocino county had six towns in that area, all gone. Andersonia, Kenny, Moody, Hardy, Rockport, and Usal

Do you have any early postal history from Honeydew formerly Honey Dew established in 1926? A town that still exists.

No, I don't. Other than what is in the Williams book.
Opened Jul 8 1926. Still open. Williams only lists one postmark EKU Nov 11 1926 and late usage of Feb 28 1935.
Another Lost Coast town, but a late bloomer.
Closest I can get is Pertrolia 14.5 miles to the north or Ettersburg 13.8 miles to the south.

This cover is a new addition, an unused preprinted entire. This envelope was printed in 1878, the first year of the Mendocino Agriculture Association, and Mr. Kraker was the secretary for only 1878. Willitsville is the first of three names of this town, being the first settlement in the Little Lake Valley. When the settlement grew large enough to have a post office, ( Mar 1 1861) it was called Little Lake, after the valley and the township name. On Apr 7 1874 the name was changed to Willits (after original settler Hiram Willits) and has remained so ever since.
Love the corner card.

A grand looking cover

Thanks Randy, first one I've seen in 20+ years of looking. Glad to add it, even unused. Was so glad, I forgot to post a cover on the day it arrived.

Feb 7 1871 Mendocino.

Mendocino to Red Bluff, Late 80 's. Can't see the year in this light strike of probably Men-2360, with the first letter of the town missing and no state I can only tell that it is a 28.5mm circle. LKU of Men 2360 is Jun 9 1888. Men 2370 is 2mm smaller diameter.

Whoops, never did get back to finish yesterday's post. uhm, they missed the stage?

Yesterdays cards, Trinidad and Two Rivers, kind of late with the two Rivers card, or 10 months early?











In today's mail bag is a valentine card from Noyo.
