Postmarks.day By Day

A third for today...canceled October 2, 1963 at Lukulu, a market town now located in Zambia.

Two for Oct. 3rd.

The first cover is an odd one, looks like the P. O. didn't know where to send this. It was postmarked in the town of Mendocino (3 times) then sent on.



The next is a real photo card of the 1906 earthquake damage to Gualala's bridge, mailed 6 months later. I'll show both sides.
