The monthly board meeting is this Saturday.

My cover this week is a well-traveled cover. It is a double weight airmail cover sent from Baltimore, Maryland on July 25, 1933. Its original destination was to a Dr. Rust in Berlin. It was forwarded to Italy where it was “Al Mittente” (To Sender). On its return to sender trip, it went through Canada. It did not receive any markings when it came back to the U.S., but it was put on a ship and sent back to Naples. On one of the trips through Italy it received Official Seals. I assume it was opened to help find the recipient. The envelope is one of those lined in a floral print that was common for birthday and greeting cards. It has airmail markings for France and Germany, and it was originally sent by U.S. airmail. It is hard to make out the ship marking for its final trip across the Atlantic. It appears to be Mako Schiliggi, which I am not familiar with. The last date markings on this are September 19, 1933. The total voyage took nearly two months. Whatever the occasion the card was sent for it was late.
