Here are two newly acquired covers -- both Newfoundland items from the 1920s:
1. a registered cover 1929 from Come-By-Chance (population of 72 back then) to stamp dealer Everett Erle in San Francisco. I like the simple use of the 6 cent #150 and the 8 cent #151). Photo of back shows 4 cancels along the way.
2. a registered postal envelope 1926 (#U2, with watermark, probably cream paper 140/78mm) from St Johns to Lennoxville. This one excited me. I like the single use of the 24 cent #144 (hard to find on a cover). But the backstamp cancels really grabbed my attention : 3 RPO cancels, including Nov 9 on Quebec train Sherbrooke & Levis (Q-281 Ludlow), and a Maritime RPO on Dec 8 Halifax & Camp (MA-80), but in between is what appears to be an inverted RPO of "Levis & Camp B'Ton Exp" (Q-38)...but the date is reversed/inverted "6 DE 92" or "26 ED 9"? Does anybody who knows the RPOs of Quebec know this or can explain it? It is the cancel on the lower right corner
Enjoy and please help with any information on this.
PS--I had problems with the free image optimizer today, it has a wierd box that pops up and blocks the image upload button then crops the edges? anybody?
