If you go pack to page 1, the first cover was Jan 11, so technically we have to go til Jan 10---just saying |

A few postal cards ... all issued on January 4, 1974:  I wonder how many other US postal stationery items (if any) were released on the same day with a First Day of Issue in two different cities? |

I thought we had finished on the 31st -- sorry for not paying attention! Here is a late submission from Lowell, Massachusetts for January 1st.  |

January 4th must have been a popular day for the issuance of Postal Cards, as this modern, yet long forgotten postal card might suggest (and it's even bearing an Artmaster cachet!):  |

January 5th 1974. On January 6th ("Three Kings' Day"), traditionally our kids get their presents, as a remembrance of the Three Kings visit to Jesus with presents; although, due to foreign influence, many of them already got them for Xmas (or twice, as often happens...). But in every city there's this evening a big parade with the Kings and all their caravan of gifts. It's Children's Magic Night!  |

Unfortunately, this is just a cut square and not a complete cover, but still a nice 1955 duplex cancel from Cedarville, NJ (pop. 851) for January 6th:  |

Two submissions for January 6th: A stampless folded letter with manuscript F(ree) rate mailed from Claremont, New Hampshire in 1842 (year identified in letter content) to the Postmaster in Bedford, NH. A cover mailed in 1867 from New Haven, Connecticut to a then future Governor of Connecticut.  |

I'm a few hours early but it is already the 9th in many parts of the world so I'll make my final contribution to this thread -- a First Flight cover sent from Miami to Czechoslovakia in 1957.  |
