Just bought some FDC of Liechtenstein. I didn't know this country exist in Europe until recently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liechtenstein
desertgem: Nice commercial cover with a clear postmark too. Judging by the date stamp to the right of the addressee it took two days to be delivered. Don
I agree with Hochtarese. These kind of covers seem to be a rarity these. I am not sure how that happened.
Sorry Steve R but I cannot seem to find where is the stamp on the cover... Oh! it was just a mark. I like the classic handwriting on it a lot.
Great covers Desertgem! I especially like the cover with the old car/new car stamps with the steering wheel cancels. It's really a beauty!
Well, this is sort of a cover... I guess the VFW ran out of BREs, or they don't use them. This is nicer anyway.
Curious about the rate on that letter. It looks like someone posted it with a 2 cent vermillion which was 1 cent too little for postage, but then rather than additional postage of 1 cent for domestic 3 cent , it is 3 cent for a 5 cent which was the foreign rate at the time?
You are correct that the domestic letter rate for a New York state to New York state delivery was 3c at the time. I can only surmise that the letter was returned to sender and the sender resent it with a 3c stamp. It was after all returned to a P.O. Box and could easily have that one day turn around that the date stamps indicate.
