The Gettysburg address

Sunday March 1947 news paper clipping about stamps

Since I have so many APO covers I thought I would start a post Covers from WW2 Korean war, Veitnam. Ill start with a WW2 remember able day. U.S. Army APO 726/ Aleution Island (June 6, 1944) D-Day. UC3, Die 2. Letter inside. video> Bing Videos

Wanted to buy Special Flight, covers From Toronto to Kingston dated Jun 4 1929 opening of Kingston Air port.

U.S. Scott C25 6 cent Air mail, Canceled by Charlottesville Virginia. ( Ken Lawrence) PF Expert, Helped me with this complicated cover. This is one of my favorite covers. The marking says RETRIEVED FROM H.M. SHIPS (not named) above RETRIEVED FROM MAIL ????? and RETURN TO SENDER markings.

"Via Clipper" was the sender's endorsement, posted at Charlottesville, Virginia, for trans-Atlantic air mail. During the 1942 deployments to Britain, the glut of mail to U.S. and Canadian servicemen exceeded the capacity of the Clippers. Many tons of letters prepaid at the concessionary 6¢ per half ounce air mail rate (not valid to Canadians), and all except government letters that weighed in excess of two ounces, went by surface ship transport. This one was prepaid for up to two ounces, bilingually marked Postage Stated Lost over the stamp remnant. It was examined by a British censor at London.      This cover is published by the APS, for this month, being stamp month. They liked my story about researching it>>.https://stamps.org/news/celebrating-national-stamp-collecting-month

Here is a web page i use to help find a type im  not sure of. Click here>  US stamps

I will be showing U. S Machine cancel types on covers. Feel free to add your U.S. Machine cancels. Examples of Machine Cancellations of the United States in the Early 20th Century Add some of your cancels!

Frajola Philatelist's Site - Home Page Try to visit the experts on there board. Ask them a question about anything they will know. Or just browse the covers Thousands in a census of U.S. covers. Become a member if your interested. Note there are post restrictions on there board. I'm on there board as well and have about 80 covers in the census but will add more soon.
