1933 Manila
to Germany With Postal Seal

It's anybody's
guess on what postal seal issue was used on this cover.
It can
be one of the three yellow or lemon yellow seals issued before 1933:
#OX6, #OX7,
or #OX9. It cannot be #OX8 as it from the picture, it is not perforated.
Only the
high bidder will know.
I consider
covers with USPI period postal seals as very scarce to even rare.
I am not
at all surprised at its closing price. In the early 1990s they were selling
for above
200 bucks already. (eBay US$ 232.49)
