Postcard back, Government breakwater and lighthouse, 1923

 

03/22/1923

 

 

This postcard back carries a legible postmark from the Railway Post Office system as well as their special cancellation on an intact postage stamp. A legible message and address are written in cursive using pencil. Dividing the message from the address portions of the card is a characteristic drawing of a fan palm tree with the publisher's information inside. The publisher's number is at the bottom of the tree.

Divided backs; Railway Post Offices; R.P.O.; El Paso and Los Angeles Route; Railway Mail Service; Postmarks; Special cancellations; Postage stamps; Mrs. Meaude B. Bakewell
