A couple of hours early, but here is an US Aerogramme for November 20th (1989)...I only scanned the two printed panels, to keep the file size down:  I can't say that I'm partial to the special FDOI cancel, though, as the postmark is so obscured by the Aerogramme indicia, I actually had to go the Scott Catalog to confirm that 11/20 was the correct date of issue! |

On this day in 1946, Mr. Mallory was due to pay back a $500 loan from his local Canadian Bank of Commerce. Being the honest man he was he paid in full, plus $4.85 interest on November 13. This entry is actually multi-dated. Loan taken out September 16, and also hand stamped on the back November 7. You may see it again a number of times next year.   Includes 6c excise stamp |

For November 20th, this 1953 first day cover from New York, NY:  And stealing a page from James' "multi-dated entry" concept, here is a 1922 registered cover from Providence, RI to Germany with markings for November 20th, 21st, and a date on the receiving stamp that I can't quite make out (perhaps it is December 2, 1922).  |

For November 21st, a cover cancelled in Philadelphia in what appears to be 1881.  Here is a short bio on the addressee from the History of Bucks County, PA Volume 3 by William H. Davis: Quote:
ST. JOHN W. MINTZER, M.D., born in Philadelphia, May 10, 1834, died December 25, 1894. He graduated from Jefferson Medical College and the University of Pennsylvania. April 16, 1861, he was appointed surgeon of the Washington Brigade, and April 19, three days later, at Baltimore, Maryland, attended the first killed and wounded of the war. On May 5, 1861 he was appointed surgeon of the Twenty-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers and also acted as surgeon of United States Volunteers, Third and Fourteenth Army Corps. He was present on duty in all the battles fought by General Hooker, commanded by Generals McClellan and Burnside, in the Army of the Potomac. He was acting medical inspector of the Army of the Cumberland, surgeon-in-chief commanding the United States Army general hospitals at McMinnville, Tennessee; South street, Philadelphia; Beverly, New Jersey, and York, Pennsylvania, and surgeon-in-chief of the states of Texas, Mississippi, etc. He resigned and was mustered out June 28, 1867. He practiced medicine until within one year of his death. June 29, 1867, Dr. Mintzer was appointed commissioner to the Paris Exposition by Governor Geary, of Pennsylvania. And here is a photo of Dr. Mintzer in his Union uniform:  |

For November 23, 1932 a post card mailed from Japan.  The Koshien Hotel, where the sender had been staying, was designed by architect Arata Endo, a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright during his residence in Japan from 1917-1922. The hotel is now part of the Mukogawa Women's University Kami-Koshien campus--the old hotel now provides classrooms for the Department of Architecture. Edit: Let me sneak in this addition for November 23rd, 1943 -- the flag of Austria from the Overrun Countries issue.  |

Thanks. That sure explains a lot. Interesting a dual FDOI for a US Air Mail Stamp and a UN Stamp at the same stamp show on the same date. It also explains the (apparently old) reference to Madison Square Garden "Center" rather than just "Madison Square Garden". |
