Item Description

This Lot is a 1940 Canal Zone (Scott #113a) on First Day Cover from Balboa Heights to Ardmore, Pennsylvania. Stamp is tied to cover by "BALBOA HEIGHTS / APR 15 1940 / CANAL ZONE" circular date cancel and 5 line "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" killer. Stamp has deep rich coloring, four margins with centering slightly to the right, and excellent perforations all around. Cover itself measures approximately 166 mm x 93 mm, has sharp corners and straight edges, and clean surfaces front and reverse. It is noted, however, from careful examination of the back flap that the cover paper has aged overall, and that the color of the paper overall has darkened with age and exposure, to a moderate tan color. Accepting this, and a contrasting shade difference on the back flap, this cover is still very attractive. Please see pictures of front and reverse for color and quality. Scott 2024 Specialized Catalogue values this First Day Cover at $10.00 US.
