Very interesting item. This is the first solo usage of a half-cent documentary battleship revenue stamp that I have seen. It appears to be a promotional 1-month accidental insurance policy from the agent A.B. Cilley in Boston, the policy itself from U.S. Casualty Co. Very innovative marketing idea!

Dan,

I need that date.

Can I get you to soak that off for my calendar?

It won't be enough anyway. There isn't that much money in the world, and right now there is no place to spend it anyway.
