Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

hi barb haven't seen you lately hope all is ok, nice to hear from you. - jeff

For May 17th:

A bit early for the 17th, but storms and clouds coming and if we even get a gnat go by the dish we loose service.

Little late entry for 5/17 but didn't want anyone to think it was just FDC...



And one for the 18th. Sad about the glue on the envelope. Any clues as to how to/ if possible to fix?

As it relates to that private cover dated 5/17/1923 addressed to a Miss Annie G. White of Webster Groves, MO...I just looked it up and quite by accident stumbled across a web site for the State of Missouri that actually had a copy of her death certificate on-line. What are the chances of that? Anyway, to summarize, her full name was Annie Gertrude White. She was born on December 1, 1873 in Ware, MA and died on May 11, 1940 at Webster Groves, MO at age 66. Martial Status: Single. Occupation: Schoolteacher. Daughter of Charles E. White and Mary (Kohler) White.

For the 18th

Bomar STL04-19b St Louis World's Fair cancel May 18, 1904. International Postal Supply Co. Model D40 Machine 6. Addressed to Henry Kuhn, National Secretary, American Socialist Labor Party from 1891-1906.

Thanks Wt1; my great aunt and great grandparents (I've picturestoo) and I could tell you more. :) Amazing how much is available on line.

...sometimes, too much, though!

this was my great grandfather... :) but I know nothing of the other signature. suggestions welcome.

I have not found any correspondence from my great-grandparents but, on the weekend, I did find a passenger list with my great-grandmother and four little children, travelling on the bark Concordia, from Oslo with the destination of La Crosse, Wisconsin, in May of 1872. It landed, by the way, in Quebec, which was one good reason it took me so long to find any records. Apparently, a lot of Scandinavian immigrants went to the USA via Canadian ports at that point in time.

I digress. I do have a cover for the 19th. It may even be an FDC for the sheet, though I am not sure, because the date is smack in the middle of the range printed on it. But it is the commemorative postmark in any case.

Yes, you do have the First Day of Issue cancel for the Souvenir Sheet 948.

Here's an example of an elaborate oversized cacheted cover that was made for that issue:

Something sweet for the 19th...

Nice National Air Mail Week commemorative cover.

I posted this link on another thread, but as it relates to National Air Mail Week in 1938, I thought this photo might be of interest:

not sure what exactly you're trying to point out here... My covers aren't quite what they seem or .???? Sorry, they've been in the family too long for me to question the origin. No one left to talk to.
