BROOKLYN NEW YORK 1940 MISSIONARY POSTAL HISTORY COVER TO PALLIKONDA INDIA - MORENWEISER TYPE 8 CENSOR MARK Nifty cover from the outbreak of World War II. Cover was sent to Rev. Francis Felip, a Salesian missionary priest serving in India. New York World's Fair postmark. Most significant is the Not Opened By Censor mark. It is a Morenweiser Type 8 NOT OPENED BY CENSOR oblong censor steel stamp from the Mumbai Censor Station with station code D, struck by the examiner having chop number 2. The mark when used in Mimbai CS from May 1940 to February 1941, has been recorded with censor numbers ranging 1–17 but all but 10% were marked by censor No. 3, making this mark particularly rare. The mark, which was applied to mail deemed innocent...bank mail, missionary mail, etc., was in use less than a year. |

BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT 1848 STAMPLESS FOLDED LETTER TO VERGENNES VERMONT Very interesting 2 1/2-page letter from Emma Curtis to her Aunt Alsow Roscoe. Emma seems to have a family business because she says she read a letter from her aunt while she was sitting at the stand between her husband Mark and a cousin. She talks of a sick grandmother a visit from her father and discusses visiting and/or moving to Vermont. She inquires about Aunt Nancy. Nice long letter, easy to read. Condition very good for this era; having only a hole where the seal was broken. |
