16 December 1968, Glens Falls, NY. 
Judging from the Glens Falls Times of that date, there was a lot going on. For one thing, the hull of a fancy new excursion boat had just arrived.  |

Sweden's Gustaf VI Adolf, nicely canceled in Lidingö. It's a type II from 1957, with the designer and engraver's initials, distinguished in Latin. Of coruse I had to check: del for delineavit (deliniated, drawn) and sc for sculpsit (carver) at the bottom. Definiately not a populist touch.

December 19On this date in 1974, Nelson A. Rockefeller became the 41st Vice President of the United States, having been appointed by then-President Gerald Ford. Ford, previously the 40th Vice President, ascended to the Presidency following Richard M. Nixon's resignation. The cachet on this 10 cent stamped envelope (Scott U567) postmarked in Washington, DC, commemorates Rockefeller's swearing in ceremony.

From the small town of Hines, in eastern Oregon. 20 December 2020.  When my friends and co-workers go out of town, I sometimes ask if they will send me a postcard and get it hand cancelled at the local post office. It's something I often do myself when out of town, and I've never had any pushback from post office staff. For some reason, though, my friends seem to always have a tough time of it. One time a co-worker went to visit his wife's family in Germany. He misunderstood what I wanted (my fault, probably) and asked the postal clerk to cancel an unaddressed postcard, which he intended to hand carry back to me. Apparently the clerk thought this highly irregular, and they spent a long time arguing before he applied the cancel. I didn't have the heart to tell my co-worker that I actually did want it mailed. This Hines one from last year comes from my friend Scott. He oversees some low income housing in the town, and drives out there every three months or so. When he asked the clerk in the Hines post office for the hand cancel, she got angry with him, thinking that he was telling her how to do her job. But, hey, I got the cancel. By far the funniest one was from earlier this year when a co-worker went to Borrego Springs, California, for a family vacation. This time the counter clerk said that she could not hand cancel the stamp itself, but required instead that the cancel be applied to a form (which form? I wish I remember) instead. That sounded goofy to my co-worker, so he returned the next day, hoping to get a different clerk. But of course the same clerk was there, and told him the same thing. Now there was some enmity between them, as the clerk naturally was irritated by him coming back and expecting a different answer. But he was now a man on a mission, so he returned the next day again, and made his request of the same clerk. But again got the same answer. Then for some reason on the fourth day, she applied the cancel to the postcard without any further discussion. As I typed that last story, I realized how unlikely it sounded, but that's how my co-worker described it to me. I really wish that I remember which form the clerk wanted him to fill out. |

December 21This strip of 3 one cent yellow green, perf. 10.5x11 Century of Progress stamps (Scott 728; May 25, 1933) is a prime example of the danger of soaking stamps off of colored Christmas envelopes. The stamps received an "Air-Mail Saves Time" postmark in Detroit, Michigan on this date in 1934. The strip was soaked off paper well before I was born; however, I have similarly "tinted" a few stamps in my youth.
