Rhode Island Tercentenary Issue
First Day Cover
300th Anniversary of the Settlement of Rhode Island
Issued on May 4, 1936 in Providence, RI - Scott #777 |
|
Unlisted Cachet Design with First
Day Cancel on Date for RI Tercentenary
with Texas Centennial Issue instead of the RI Tercentenary Issue |
I suspect that the Cachet Maker sent his covers to the
Providence Post Office to receive cancellations for the RI
Tercentenary Issue and one of the clerks/postal workers
inadvertently placed the Texas 3-cent issue on the cover by
mistake. The Texas Centennial stamp was issued just two months
earlier on March 2, 1936. |
