(29 April 2020) Collecting made-to-order needs of the moment unusual instructive handstamps must be fun and quite challenging. This Jamaica cover with Hotel Titchfield flag-flying flap to San Antonio, Texas travelled uncancelled until it reached Pasadena, California on MR 9 1912 and the postmaster felt obliged to tell the eventual recipient that his cover was trapped inside a circular during transit. A nice item to include in an Arms display. The Anguilla Valley postmaster, in 1996, before any actual transit to Basseterre, has gone to extraordinary length with a mind-boggling message that the sender’s letter is certified to have been received in good condition at his post office! Bad condition yes, but good condition?
Further covers to McCormick & Company in Baltimore, Maryland might determine whether the blue ink ‘OCT 19 ‘31’ datestamps (22.5 x 5mm) were applied by the company to show date of receipt (this cover having no other markings), but application of two strikes suggest a deliberate intention to kill all three adhesives which would be more in line with the duty of a postal clerk, and of little importance to the recipient. Attention must focus on whether the datestamp (which could be construed as blanket coverage for OCT 1931) was applied in a temporary capacity during the aftermath of the devastating hurricane which destroyed the town of Belize on the afternoon of 10th September 1931.
