Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

Found some old timers from the early 20th century.

To backup to July 9th, here's a nice flag cancel from 1915 from San Mateo, CA:



...and for July 10th, here is one from NY City, dated July 10, 1919:



...and another for July 10th, this time from Elizabeth, NJ dated July 10, 1920:

For July 11th, a first day of issue postal card:

And also for the 11th, a nice airmail cover. How I came to be the owner of several covers from this time period which are addressed to Members of Parliament in Great Britain is beyond the scope of my memory. This is possibly one of the better known of the batch but I am wondering if someone in the secretary pool with access to discarded envelopes happened to be or to know a collector.





And I am going to add this more modern cover just because it is an interesting use of a strip of low value coils.

July 12 and a superbly cancelled First Flight Cover.

Old cancel for today.

Forgot to post this one for yesterday (July 12th), so I'm doing it now:

A day late, but just found another one for July 12th. Uncacheted, but a nice bold cancellation on an unaddressed cover:

In an effort to be on time, I'm posting these examples for Scott #783, the Oregon Territory issue of July 14, 1936 (75 years old today). All of these are first day cancellation plate blocks (with different cachets) for all of the different cities having a connection with that commemoration.

Astoria, Oregon:


Daniel, Wyoming:


Lewiston, Idaho:


Missoula, Montana:


Walla Walla, Washington:

I know I'm a day late, and many will remind me that this is not a stamp, but a meter imprint, but for July 15th, this is still a cover and with a great piece of slogan advertising for "Master Charge" (the predecessor to today's MasterCard) which was apparently just coming into being in 1969:



Edit: The 1969 date on the above slogan meter is significant as noted in this history of MasterCard:

It has been a few days since I had anything of the correct date to add. So here is one for the 18th - a nice censored airmail cover from Columbia.

Late for the 16th -



and the 17th


and here's today!


Make it a good one!



<edit> that was very strange - if you looked earlier and saw the Nadaland coin stamps.... same file number as this in a totally different folder.

A slightly different FDC cancellation for the 20th. I don't know whether the Canadian Senate Post Office still does this, but I have run across two different cancellations in this format for FDCs rather than the usual Ottawa date stamp with First Day of Issue shown in the Slogan area of the Cancel. And the Senate ones always seem to be in red ink.

Had to post this one for July 21st. Very colorful cover with the combination of stamps. Actually, the July 21, 1938 date is representing the first day of issue of the 5-cent James Monroe stamp (Scott 810) in the Presidential Series:

Not colorful in the sense of wt's but colorful and part of the fond memories of summers past.

Although this has nothing to do with today's date or a first day cover, the Carousel Horses FDC's reminded me of this. Anyone recall seeing it before? ...



It's a phone card issued by the USPS back in the pre-cellphone days!
