A nice commercial cover from Westinghouse with an American Flag machine cancel from East Pittsburgh, PA dated Apr 15 1912, 6.30 pm. Seen before but the stamp, Scott 332, has a Westinghouse perfin W/EM

Nice one, daniel!

Just a comment in the historical serendipity aspect, but isn’t 15th April 1912 the date of the sinking of the RMS Titanic?

I realize that there is no real connection between your item and that event, but as a devout lover of history, I still think it’s very cool.
