September 18, 1906.
An RPO from Yakima, Wa. to Portland, Or. What is interesting to me is that when I worked in the Yakima PO, in 1962, we were still sending stuff on the Spokane, Pasco, and Portland.

On rare occasions stamps have been produced for use on only one day. The Uruguay 45 cent "Gaucho and Biplane" airmail is such a stamp. Issued on September 24, 1925 to commemorate the Battle of Rincon. The stamp was not sold over the counter but affixed to covers by postal clerks for use on that single day. Because of this procedure there were never any unused copies available. The second stamp on the cover features General Fructuoso Rivera who was a commander at the battle and later, in 1930, was elected the first President of Uruguay. Sept 24 1925 was the first day of issue for this stamp.  Although I do not concentrate on collecting covers I have started a sub collection of covers for stamps that were only valid for use on one day. This second cover is one I picked up this last weekend. The Heron stamp inscribed Florida was another single day usage of August 24, 1925.  |

I came across this postmark a few days ago while sorting through my pile of Greenland stamps, and now it's time to let it be seen. King Frederik IX, the tattooed king, on a stamp cancelled Sept. 28, 1968 in the Greenlandic capital, Godthåb (now known as Nuuk).   Ryan |

September 28The tattooed King is a hard act to follow! The 4c blue & pink, perf. 11 U.S.-Japan treaty issue (Scott 1158), commemorating the centenary of the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Amity, was released in Washington, DC on this date in 1960.  On this date in 1943, the 5c blue violet, deep blue, dark rose & black, perf. 12 "Flag of France" (Scott 915) from the Overrun Countries issue was released.  This cover bears a 1c blue, type V, 1857 Franklin (Scott 24) tied with a Boston "Paid in Circle" killer. The cover was sent to Asa P(orter) Morse in 1859.

There was quite the fuss over that! www.nytimes.com/1989/09/18/us/use-of-extinct-name-rattles-dinosaur-lobby.htmlNeither bronto nor apato, but that's OK. All you ever needed were the first two strings of a guitar anyway, forget all that wheedly-wheedly-wee squealy stuff. Ryan |
