March 22nd, 1929
Soviet cover from Kamenskaya, Northern Caucasus (today Kamensk-Shakhtinsky) to Moscow, 24/3/1929. Registered with rectangular “З” handstamp in red-violet ink, with the city name as Kamensk. Franked at 45k with “Large Heads” – the registered letter rate was 20k, so possibly an overweight letter. Notice the 2 different names of the city: it was in 1927 that the village of Kamenskaya obtained the status of the city and was named Kamensk. This new name lasted only until 9/8/1929 when the city was named Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

Four years ago a co-worker of mine was vacationing in sunny Hawaii, and she was nice enough to gloat via postcard.  |

March 25, 1914 from Agioi Saranta in Epirus (now Albania). I'm guessing the cancel represented the The present-day town of Saranda (from Greek: Άγιοι Σαράντα, translit. Agioi Saranda). According to Wiki: The very short-lived Autonomous Republic of Northern Epirus (Michel calls it Autonomous Epirus)was founded in the aftermath of the Balkan Wars on February 28, 1914 by Greeks living in southern Albania. Stamp: Scott no 7, Michel no 1 was issued on March 5, 1914 according to Michel(however another source says February).  |

March 30, 1916 from Breda maybe? Stamp(Michel 51) was in use for 20 plus years with no varieties showing in My Scott or Michel catalogs.  EDIT: Confirmed Breda by comparing with another stamp  |

March 31st, 1966 from Singapore. Maybe from district no. 1. Singapore had 28 postal districts at that time. Now they have 5-digit numbers. The fish is shooting water droplets at the dragonfly and goes by the name Jaculator, (known in English as archerfish)  |

39th March (2017) U.S., Scott #4642 or #4646 non-denominated "Forever" booklet definitive stamp depicting the U.S. flag, issued in 2012, and hand-date-stamped on the 39th of March in 2017 at the Joshua Tree National Park in Cottonwood, California. OK, April Fool's, everyone!! We all know that there is no 39th of March, or any other month for that matter! Someone before me did not set the date properly on the CDS at the Park Visitors' Center when I was there last year, and I was quite disappointed when I cancelled my postcard with this bogus date, and this was the only way I could figure out to display it....  And it's already 1st April here in France!
