Item Description

This cover was mailed from the U.S.S. Pollack to Concord, North Carolina in 1938 franked by a 3-cent violet Alaska - Mount McKinley issue of 1937, Scott 800. A U.S.S. Pollack, San Diego, California 4-bar killer handstamp ties the stamp to the cover.

The printed cachet depicts the sinking ship 'Maine,' a battleship, and a sword-wielding horse rider, and reads:
'40th Anniversary Series 1898 - 1938
Spanish American War
Remember the Maine.'

Added purple handstamps include:
'In Solumn (sic) Memory
U.S.S. 'Maine' Destroyed in
Havana Harbor Feb. 15 -1898
CAPT. Sigsbee Commander.'

The backflap is un-sealed and intact. Diagonal paper production ding on front (see scan). Manuscript return address on backflap. No contents or backstamps.

The cover in the scan is the one you will receive. Light lines in images are SCANNER ARTIFACT!
