It's a new month, the sun is shining, and the snow is gone from the yard (almost). Time to go out and start cleaning things up but I had to add to the May 1 flurry of covers with a kind of interesting Air Mail express from Geneva with an Express Label and a Fee Paid Stamp, presumably from the receiving Post Office in England.  |

jwhite: I have several of those "Mothers of America" FDC's but don't recall seeing that cachet before. Do you know the cachetmaker? |

That Knapp handpainted cachet is really impressive. Also, whoever addressed the envelope did it in a very fancy handwriting that you don't see too often today.
BTW, thanks for the info. on that "Mothers of America" Ralph Dyer cachet. As I said, I have a couple of different ones myself with Linprint and Rice cachets. |
