Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

Another three today, all cards
Boonville, where they speak their own language, Boontling.

and Albion. Since Helen is bragging on "her" new hotel, I'll flip the card over.

Four today, beginning with
Mendocino, bought this cover from a member here, Thanks orstampman!



Manchester, this card was mailed by my great-aunt Marie, one of Grandma's 16 siblings, a half-sister.



Eureka & San Fran. RPO with a Willits corner card.



and Dos Rios, a philatelic cover with the old postmark (Two Rivers Jul 12, 1912-Jul 27, 1915) and the second (of two) Dos Rios postmark (Jul 27, 1915 - Apr 21, 1967)

Eleven Nov 13 postmarks today, and a different Martin's Ferry manuscript postmark for a question.
Ukiah, an up-rated PSE



Martin's Ferry;
Here are the two conflicting Manuscript postmarks. I'm guessing that the Martin's Ferry postmaster was also the ferry operator and that he was busy (ferrying, "Pull Lemual, pull") when the Nov 13,1882 Registered cover was mailed and that Mrs. Postmaster handled the mail. Philadelphia used their large receiver on the back.




Here's the other Martin's Ferry postmark mailed a few months earlier, sold by Schuyler Rumsey, forgot which year.

Here's the question. Was it common (or allowed) for the spouse of the postmaster to 'fill-in' when necessary?

Here's a better view of that receiver. It's from another cover also sent to Wilcox Chemical.

Hardy, next day.



Two Northwestern Pacific RPOs. I'm adding Eureka's RPO catalog listings so that the reader can make their own call as to which postmark is shown.



Eureka & San Fran. NWP-985-K-4 (I think)



Eureka & S. F. NWP-985-L-1 (Sure of it! )

Two for today.
I have three postmarks that use a 4 space month logo. It provides space for SEPT, which all 3 use, but I won't be able to show you those for a while. One of them is Rohnerville Hum-4350, another is Kibesillah Men-1920 and today's
Mendocino Men 2350. You'll note a period after NOV



Rohnerville,

Three Four postmarks today. Don't know how I missed it, but back on the 3rd, I missed this
Fort Bragg, Registered



Back to today,
Fort Bragg, Registered



Manzanita, a three-year town.



and Eureka & S. F., another 985-L-1. Way more spacing of name than 985-L-2. Plus 985-L-2 was used mid 20's to mid 30's. Do you suppose that M. C. Ward worked for the Railway Mail Service?



Edit to add comments on 985-L-2.

Three today, all past the turn of the century.
Elk,



Loleta,



and Thorn, in the Lost Coast has been opened twice; Aug 6 1888 to Oct 15 1923 and Feb 16,1951 to Feb 28, 1961 then name changed to Whitethorn. The latest report of Postmaster compensation was for $40.00 in 1911. Highest compensation paid in 1907 ($67.00) and 1909. ($65.00)
