FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL!
NOT EXACTLY
a postcard - but a great immediate post WW2 Hawaiian & U S Army view
ca late 1945 REAL PHOTO invitation to the opening of the new Schofield Barracks post office on 21 February.
This invitation was probably meant to be mailed as a postcard because it's basically the exact same size as a standard postcard
(3
3/8
inches by 5
1/2
inches) but, alas,
it's NOT an actual postcard
as there is NOTHING printed on the verso.
Corrected in ink by, presumably, M O Dorrough, "Superintendent of the Station."
Real photo is sepia toned.
Invitation is dated by the two early to mid 1940s cars parked on the far right (see close-up scan #3).
As of 25 July 2020 I could find no other listing on ebay for this invitation.
(Starting 18 March 2020 - though I'm social distancing myself and have absolutely no symptoms - I will rub [until dry] a fresh dollop of hand sanitizer into my hands immediately before picking your items from my shelves and packing them - and again when I mail them).
corrected in ink, presumably by postmaster, else fine . . . . . . .
Remember that the
Abraham Lincoln Penny
is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!
