1901 JUNE 10: MANILA to RUSSIA

VERY UNCOMMON DESTINATION

This cover, also said to be a fake, now in the Chiong collection. Postmark with Goodale Type A-7,
used from September 1, 1900 to December 14, 1901. Known with numbers 1 to 3 on oval barrel killer. FOR THE PERIOD THIS IS THE ONLY MANILA POSTMARK KNOWN WITH THE OVAL BARREL STRUCK SEPARATELY. WITHOUT DOUBT ALSO A GENUINE COVER.
