October 23rd, Postmarked 1911 in Jersey Shore Pa. -The Hotel Dunkle
The Hotel Dunkle. I have NEVER seen this particular card before as I have with the others. I bought it on the spot! This building was directly across the street from my Great Grandparents house in Jersey Shore, Pa! It is also where I was immunized for school. Dr. Dunkle was an "old timey" type doctor and his word was gospel! lol
I once had a an infected finger (from a fish hook incident) that needed lanced; I was scared that it was going to hurt- Dr. Dunkle, without missing a beat, promptly stomped down on my foot while he jabbed me to drain it. He was correct- I didn't feel my finger at all...just my foot... He quipped "See, I told you it wouldn't be that bad !"
Hotel Dunkle, Jersey Shore, Pa.
Obverse:
Reverse: Stamp is, I suspect a Scott #374 since it's usage is so late in 1911 but it is possible it could be a #357 on "blue-paper" {watermark 190} but the historic value on piece is worth way more (to me) than any intrinsic or philatelic value it may have plus, the "blue-paper" issues are common enough that another copy can be easily obtained already certified.
The machine cancel n this card was made by a machine sold by the Doremus Company - Doremus Type E
The original building:
How it looked in the 1990's before it was razed and an Arby's built ontop.:

October 23rd, 1926
Attached on the cover a rectangular label, on cream paper, perfed and bearing a large red “P”. It is unclear what the letter stands for. On the back of the cover a form (Avid de Reception?) appears to have been attached – presumably detached upon receipt.
Intriguing etiquette Vasia. Yes, the Advice de Reception card, would have been franked by the sender and attached by his/her PO. When the correspondence was in the hands of the receiver, the card removed, and sent back to the sender (pre franked as mentioned) , as receipt it reached its destination. |

Just after 1 a.m. here on Saturday the 25th, so I know this is an hour late. But here goes. Was tossing and turning (face still hurts from dental surgery a week ago) so rather than disturb the missus, I got up and ended up searching through a box of covers I need to sort and catalogue. Found this at the bottom. United Nations FDC dated Oct 24 1951 [BROKEN IMAGE LINK(S) REMOVED] |

I had lots of dental surgery and understand the pain, I found that taking Tylenol and a Advil together helped. |

October 30th, 1903 Mr. J.H. Tilton mailed from Newbury Vermont. It handsomely wears a US Scott #301 E.K.U. is 1/17/03 so this stamp has only been use for 9 months when this was applied to this cover and sent out. Amazing isn't it when you stop and think about it for a minute!

It handsomely wears a US Scott #301 E.K.U. is 1/17/03 so this stamp has only been use for 9 months when this was applied to this cover and sent out. Amazing isn't it when you stop and think about it for a minute! I would read that as J.H. Tilton |
