SOUTH PLAINS (?) MAINE SCOTT #11A COVER T0 ROCKLAND MAINE If you look at the manuscript mark on this letter, it is easily read as S Plains, Maine. The tough part is finding if a South Plains Maine ever existed. That explains the question mark in the headline. If anyone can provide more information, please send it along. Cover is in poor condition with tears around the stamp and through the manuscript mark. Plenty of age wrinkles, too. However, the stamp is fantastic. Right margin copy with all good margins; tending to a little close at top left. Strong color. Addressed to G. B. Macomber in Rockland Maine. |

JAPAN - WORLD WAR II JAPANESE NAVAL DOCUMENT TO SAILORS - SEE DESCRIPTION Interesting Japanese Naval document from World War II. A Navy Commander issued orders for maintaining living standard and job arrangements for sailors-on-duty. The stamp itself is common. However the original document would have significant value if it were more than a fragment since it was printed right before Japanese surrender (April, 1945) and the issuer was one of the Japanese Navy leaders. Too bad there is only a fragment of the document left. It could have been a much more valuable item for WW II collectors. |
