I decided to show this cover due to the postage rates and amount of travel this cover went through. The stamp on the cover is Scott#831 paying a rare unpublished rate to Niger 50c tied by Muscatine Iowa Jun 28 1942 machine cancel. It is addressed to "Colonie du Niger Afrique Occidentale Francaise West Africa", censored at least twice, backstamps show routes including Stanleyville (not sure where this town is located) and Lagos (Nigeria). By far this is an interesting cover with the unpublished 50c rate by the Post Office Department. This cover has a rare rates and hard to find destination.
