Earliest Known Usage (EKU) for "RELEASED BY P.O. INSPECTOR/ENGAGED ON CENSORSHIP." This censored letter was mailed from UK on November 21, 1941 via New York to Mexico. Covers from Ginny Nightingale
Cover from Zeb Vance
This censored letter was mailed from New York on March 3, 1943 to Argentina. I looked at the Auxiliary Markings Record and didn't see the "SPANISH LANGUAGE" handstamp listed. I believe it's obvious that the mark indicates that the letter is in Spanish and was applied to facilitate censoring. However was the mark applied by the sender or was it applied when opened by a non-Spanish speaking censor?.John Hotchner writes "Believe this would have been placed by the company sending the letter - a business letter more than likely, and would be to facilitate censoring." (July 31, 2007). Covers from Chris Masters
"This is the mail / letter / package for which you sent postage" with 1905 Los Angeles duplex unusual Barry Station C.
"This is the mail for which you sent postage" auxiliary marking 1907 with Oakland duplex and pink (postage) due. Five markings just to collect postage - no wonder the postal workers are busy.
"Returned for postage. Postage due 1/2 cent" appears to be 1923-1924 from the franking. Looks like the mailer gave up and never remailed the card. A rare Due marking because of the improper 1.5 cent franking?
A huge pink finger auxiliary marking with "OUT" August 13, 1920 for unclaimed general delivery. Can see Return to...Unclaimed...From...------Don't see any OUT on fingers on the website? Mailed San Francisco July 28, 1920 arrived new Orleans August 12, 1920 and OUT (that was fast) the 13th. Large pink "A" and something else I can't read on printed side. Finger is over 3" long and 1 1/4" tall. The printed side scan (below) is also an appropriate subject matter. Cover from Ginny Nightingale
