Cover Calendar For Month And Day -Pics

And mine. Ok, not a cover, but a bank loan receipt rubber stamped on June 25, 1927 and bearing an eight cent Canadian excise stamp. Gotta be worth something! (Ya...$200).



It's difficult to read, but the debt was repaid June 30 (rubber stamp lower right corner).

Daily newspapers often did stamp columns back in the day. In fact, a Google archive search of newspapers can find many examples of them for you. Here's a link to a newspaper column about the Mackinac Bridge Stamp that you posted ... and the article is quite lengthy with quite a few details of the stamp, too. Plus, it makes mention of the "end of an era" in that the stamp was the last commemorative of the 3-cent denomination:

For June 26, a quiet little cover sent from the Eastern National Co. in Hoboken NJ on this day in 1925.



The back holds a nice surprise with a Canadian 1c Customs Duty stamp, canceled on June 29 at Station F Toronto.

Also on this day, one of those 'what-cha-ma-call-it' cards commemorating JFKs visit to Berlin in 1963.



Oh ya! Memory cards. Previously shown, of course.

June 26, 1959, Messena NY FDC St Lawrence Seaway

It's now June 27. I present to you my chicken cover.



The chicken on the stamp may not be a pedigreed black minorca, but this one is...

Don t you have a auction to be bidding at James, nice chicken

June 27, 1944, APO-34 to Minneapolis MN



The 34th Inf Div is based in Rosemount MN. I found a Robert C. Riches(1927-2011) who was born in St Paul MN so there's a good chance that it's him.

I wonder if he used the 'Over-run Countries' stamps to hint to his family where he was headed?

Here is one for both June 27th and July 2nd -- a US Scott 903 on cover from Houston, TX to New Orleans, LA by way of Ferriday, LA:

EDIT:
I posted this earlier, but just found out that the date was
photo-shopped from the original 1985 movie version. It was
neat while it lasted, but we have about 10 more years until
we can meet up with Marty McFly.




You know what....
It's not cover, but when you consider today is the one
day in an entire lifetime that this can be posted, I'm gonna post it!
Does it make you feel old?

Ratio411,
I don't know what that is...

kehess: Now I really feel old! LoL

I am going to edit the post to reflect the fact that I just found out
that the top date was photo-shopped. It's a few more years before the
original version is current. Thank God.

June 30
Boring business reply envelope with Kansas City & Albuquerque W.D. R.P.O. cancel.

June 30, 1913, Charleroi Belgium to St Paul Park MN

It seems some relative tried to make the message more readable by overwriting it in pen and then wrote some family history on it. Not the best thing to do but I guess it does add something else to it's history. Without it we wouldn't know that Clemence De Donker became Sister Marie-Joseph.



There was an Albert Nollet on the St Paul Park city council during this time period and there are now still quite a few Nollets in St Paul Park. Maybe relatives? The Nollet cousins?



The Bourse in Charleroi Ville Basse is still in use as a shopping area.

July 1st, 1941 from Houston, TX with a Scott 856 (Panama Canal issue).
