5-Centavo
Juan dela Cruz Envelope with Corner Card
Surcharged on a 2c Envelope of 1935, et seq. 1 April 1943 The first day cancelled envelope need not have an official cachet stamped on it but Mr. Gomez had to be different. He had his struck multiple times on the same area. Note too that he used the two names of his street address: 'Wright' and 'Kawang-gawa'. |
The envelope was originally printed in 1935 in Dayton, Ohio, USA. |
Official
Overprints on Green Rizal Card
1. Rizal, 4 March 1944 2. Large Commonwealth, 26 June 1944 3. Dalaga, 7 April 1943 (Middle bars High) 4. Dalaga, 19 June 1944 (Middle bars Low) 5. Blood Compact, 7 April 1943 (Middle bar high) 6. Blood Compact, much later (Middle bar Low) Although regular looking, the cover is an oddity. It may be called a negative first day cover. A post office employee unknowingly applied a first-day cancel on the stamps although none of the six -were issued on August 28, 1944. A Jesus Cacho handiwork, it features aside from the Rizal and the large Commonwealth, the seldom seen in-one-cover-together of the first and second printing of the Dalaga Koyo and the blood compact. |
