Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

For anyone interested, it's a Ken Boll/Cachet Craft cachet on Scott #944 known as a Mellone #14 cachet.

For October 20th (the #10 size postal stationery envelope - (U584); not the stamp):

Here's a pretty one for the 20th. Royal regalia from Sweden.

For October 23rd, this 1926 cover with New York International Philatelic Exhibition postmarks. The cover first debuted on SCF at https://goscf.com/t/14934 (includes an image of the exposition label on the reverse).

For October 24th, here is one mailed from Portland, Maine in 1897. I believe the cover has a Barry machine cancel (rectilinear with diagonal lines) -- if you look closely at the right edge there appear to be indications of pin impressions caused by the machine's feeder mechanism.

Two very interesting covers. I am not at all knowledgeable about U.S. stamps, but is the 2 cent Washington from a booklet pane or were sheets commonly straight edge?

Yes, it is a Barry Postal Supply model H2 machine 1

A few we've missed, better late than never.

Backroads,

This stamp has a natural straight edge. Russ provides a nice image of a flat plate print layout that shows the cut lines that would result in straight edges in this thread: https://goscf.com/t/13110&SearchTerms=flat+plate

I may be mistaken but I don't think booklet panes were produced in the U.S. until 1900.

The 279Bj were the first booklet panes issued (April 18, 1900). They initial came from 360 subject plates with plates 988, 989, 990, 991, 1009, 1010 and 1011 all being put to press on march 7, 1900.

For October 25th, this cover mailed from Boston Massachusetts in 1893. The addressee, originally from Abington, MA, moved to California just before the Civil War (see http://socialarchive.iath.virginia....Thorp-cr.xml ).

Two covers for October 26th: Peoria, Illinois 1887 and Wolfboro, New Hampshire 1895.

An interesting tidbit about the last cover scanned. It is postmarked Wolfboro, NH (spelling "Wolfboro") when today the town is known as "Wolfeboro". In checking Jim Forte's Postal History website, it would seem the spelling of the name changed in 1908. In fact, the older spelling "Wolfboro" is only noted to have been used for 14 years, between 1894 and 1908, which makes it something of a conversation piece.

For October 27th, Palo Alto, California 1956 and Tucson, Arizona 1958:

Oct 27, 1911 Scott 374 St. Louis North B'way (Broadway) RPO Trip 8
The North Broadway circuit was a Streetcar RPO for St. Louis.
