This is another Transport cover that I acquire from the recent Nutmeg auction. This cover to South America is franked with two 10-cent Transports C27, with 5/7/1945 duplex cancels tie with a 5-cent Prexie, addressed to Bogota, Columbia. It is returned to sender, censored, Universal Institute corner and 3 colorful backstamps. A very attractive postal history.

What is interesting about this cover was, the 25c rate to Colombia was by far the most brief usage during the 1941-1946 period to the South America continent according to the GH Davis Transport handbook. It would be quite a challenge to go out and look for an example of this. Do let me know if you find any!

In the last Nutmeg Stamp Sale 121 on June 20, 2006 I picked up a couple of nice WWII Transport covers. And I thought it will be nice to share it here. I like this particular cover on the left because of its many handstamps and definitely a well-traveled cover.

This cover is frank with two 10-cent Transports plane and 7 and 8 cent prexies, Registered Mail to Mexico with New York registry cancels addressed to Mexico City, Mexico. Noticeable tape marks and censored. This well-travelled cover originated in New York and went to Mexico City, El Paso, San Francisco and Reno before returning to NY. Altogether 18 backstamps and in very fine condition. I will share a few more of these purchase cover in the coming days. Hope you like them.
