Nov 27, 1899. Wow, my 3rd in a row!
Special delivery Massachusetts to Seattle. What is really interesting to me, is the back of the cover, RPO tr69(tr 63?) and a train late 1 mail delayed backstamp.
I love this cover! It's realy handsome and has some neat markings and hand-stamps. Neat stuff! |

December 5From Wichita Falls, Texas on this date in 1945, this cover bears a 3c blue, perf. 11x10.5 stamp (Scott 935) issued on October 27, 1945 to recognize the achievements of the U.S. Navy in World War II.  Also postmarked on this date in 2011 in the Kingdom of Agartha. It appears that the Agartha Philatelic Bureau did such a good job cancelling its 50c red & yellow Christmas 2011 issue (Agartha 35) that Royal Mail saw no need to cancel its postage.
