There’s a new addition to Philosateleia’s featured exhibit 14 Cents: the American Indian Stamp. J. Emory Renoll, a Pennsylvania stamp dealer, mailed this registered cover in 1930.
Read all about the cover and the postage rate it exemplifies.
Setting sail on the SS Europa

After a delay of a few weeks, I’m back to work on Philosateleia’s 14 Cents: the American Indian Stamp. The latest addition is a cover carried on the SS Europa in 1936.
This particular cover has a letter inside, but its written in what appears to me to be German, and in a somewhat spidery hand. I would be interested to know what it says. If you can help translate, please let me know!
Thanksgiving treat

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner, and soon those of us here in the U.S. will be enjoying turkey and all the fixin’s—and, of course, giving thanks to God for the wonderful blessings He provides us.
I presume you’ll be spending time with family, so I wanted to present a Thanksgiving treat a couple of days early. It’s a late usage of the 14¢ American Indian stamp on cover.
This is the last of my flat plate printed American Indian stamps on cover. After Thanksgiving, I’ll tackle examples of the rotary press stamps, then move on to the Canal Zone issues.
Happy Thanksgiving!
