Nope, it was you, I mentioned you and the cover in my 7/17/2015 post. Here's a link to that post.

https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=121#380943

I also posted that cover and the Scotia Jul 20 1995 cover on 3/9/2015, but not in this thread. Maybe in US Covers? I'll give it a look.
I did post both of these Scotia covers on 3/9/2015 and 3/10/2015 (in US Covers), however you did not. We talked about the Scotia covers somewhere else.
Could you search your previously posted image files for Scotia Apr 6 1896? I know that you showed it to me.

I didn't, pretty difficult for me to forget Scotia's only semi-fancy postmark, a large double ring (33.5mm 31.5mm) duplexed with a solid star. But, then I'm fixated on anything Humboldt or Mendocino.

Good morning everyone else. Six for today.

Fort Bragg, this office was opened three times; Feb 15,1858 -- Jun 30,1858, Jan 15,1861-- Jun 9,1862, and Nov 11, 1885--open. This cover mailed from San Francisco in May of 1863 arrived 11 months after the Fort Bragg PO closed the last time. The fort kept a small sailboat for supply runs to Mendocino, which had an open Post Office. This cover contains a May 6th reply and a May 12 reply, so there was another cover.

Good morning. Two for May 14 and two for the 14th.

Westport,



and Point Arena, posted on 5/15/2015.



These two in-coming all-over Fischbeck & Gloontz advertising covers sent to Mendocino storekeeper/Wells Fargo agent Eugene Brown on the 14, 1887 have RPO CDSs, but are both missing the month. I'll squeeze them in here.

San Fran. & L, ANG RPO, it is missing a stamp, but I don't see from where.



San Fran. & Solano RPO,



Looks like both were addressed by the same hand.

Edit to add missing stamp comment.

Good morning. Five for today.

Cahato, one of two Postal Cards sent from Cahato, both postmarked with Cahato's scarce oval, barely visible under San Francisco's un-recorded carrier CDS. This is a late use of Men-320. California Town Postmarks 1850 - 1935
records a usage span of Jan 4, 1872 to Mar 1 1873. This is May 15 1878, and I have May 18th 1878 as well. I'll show both sides. First, a look at Cahato's postmarks;

Good morning, six for today.

Smith River is in Del Norte County, and in my collection because of the Philadelphia receiver on the back, which I posted on Nov 14, 2025 for a better look at the receiver here;

https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=141#841545

We needed that better look because of the Martin's Ferry cover I posted the day before, here, scroll down one cover.

https://goscf.com/t/11887&whichpage=141#841506

Both the Martin's Ferry and the Smith River cover were Registered and sent to the same addressee and have the same receiver on back.
Smith River,

Good morning, two for today.

Cahato, this is the 2nd of two postal cards with a barely visible Cahato oval (Men-320) under an un-recorded San Francisco carrier that I posted on the 15th. Even less visible on this card. Post is here, or scroll up three days.
