A couple of days late, perhaps, but a nice June 2nd Pictorial Cancellation for Rotary International:

If no one minds, I'll post a late one as well -- June 1, 1890:

June 6, 1853


June 7, 1852



June 8, 1864

Those are very nice old covers Steve,Thanks.
It would seem, June 6th, a busy, busy day.

for the 6th

I love the 19th century covers!

Have one for the 7th of June. A 1949 international cover out of Switzerland.

Sorry, more modern, but I take consolation from not having purchased them...but maybe the new one's will give someone the similar thrill in 100 years?

for the 7th

Lockumup... Those are very nice; I really like the flowers which I'd not seen, and the Milwaukee cancels!
also, we didn't double post any today. :) You've great assortment too. Barb

I've posted this cover before, but now it's time has come, June 7, 1947

And since I'm out tonight, here's one for tomorrow.




June 8, 1942. V for victory?

I have to go back to the post of those 19th century covers by tomiseksj earlier on this page. There is one dated 1853 addressed to "A.D. Lockwood" of West Killingly, Connecticut. Mr. Amos D. Lockwood's portrait is below:



He was a key figure in the mill industry in not only Connecticut, but Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine and even South Carolina. There are a number of references to him on the internet, but just too much to post here, including his prominence in papers at the Smithsonian Institution.

Sometimes we're too quick to pass over these covers when just looking at postmarks and stamps, when the history behind some of the personalities named on these covers makes for a very interesting research project.

Yes, that Canadian cover is the V for Victory and with the Morse Code letters for the same - incidentally, they can be the 4 notes of I think it's Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Da Da Da Dah

Beautiful Example!
