1943 REGISTERED COMMERCIAL COVER
1943 JUNE 7: MANILA CIRCULATING
5c Juan dela Cruz postal envelope (#NU1) with 12c Salt Springs Provisional (#N2) for proper 17c Registered Rate (5c + 12c Registry Fee). Properly censored with Garrett Type IA2 mark. Marked RTS after posting of June 10 Second and June 13 Third notices. Marked "recd: 6/24/43" by the sender on verso.

Gene Labiuk collection: This is a cover to die for. The 12c Provisional is very scarce on commercial cover. Beautiful exhibit piece, in either Japanese Occupation traditional or postal history exhibit.
