wt1, the 2c type III Washington wasn't issued until March 1895 and the backstamps substantiate mailing that year. More on this cover and Jim Forte's comment regarding use of the Centre Moreland handstamp is in the thread at www.stampcommunity.org/topic...ntre+moreland

Tomiseksj: Thanks. I remember the previous post now. (I thought it sounded familiar.) Anyway, it's still an interesting postmark on a town name that technically didn't exist as "Centre" when postmarked in 1895.

Fifia: Nice period meter marking and the P.O. in the corners of the circle suggest it was a Post Office meter, too. Must have been used to mail a parcel or some kind, as 62 cents would have been quite a bit of postage back in 1957.

Thanks, Wt1. It must have been a Chrismas present! I wonder how I got to have all these nice stamps and 'stuff'. Amazing.

It's almost December 15 so I'll post these now. Both aerogrammes have been seen here before, I believe, but since they were both posted on this day, different years...Let's see 'em again!

Nice Aerogrammes!

For the 15th, I have a clean 1915 U.S. Postal Stationery to a Doctor, apparently from a Medical Supply House . There is a pre-printed order form on the reverse, possibly the confirmation of an order for supplies, but true to the apocryphal medical handwriting, I cannot decipher a single item.

In case you were wondering as to the Doctor named as the addressee of the previously scanned 1915 postal card, he was Dr. George VanVoris Warner. Here's an except from the Red Bank (NJ) Register in 1923 where he was given an award:

I don't know where all this information on mail recipients or senders is available, but it is always fascinating to see references such as that. Thank you.

For the 16th, a neat wartime censored cover from India and an early (for that jurisdiction) FDC for Australian Antarctic Territory.

In keeping with backroad's censorship theme, here is a cover from the German protectorate Bohemia and Moravia that was postmarked December 17, 1941.

Another for December 18th. This stampless folded cover was sent from Shawneetown, Illinois sometime between 1845 and 1850.

A couple of covers for the 20th, both of which appear to be philatelic usage rather than postally used. But they are from different areas of the world and ones that have not been heavily shown in this Calendar.
