Lot 20096 – Registered War Department Penalty cover bearing 1903-04 4c (2) and 2c, elusive Manila red circular registration ds

1906 (May 25). Registered War Department Penalty cover from Manila to Eureka, California, bearing 1903-04 4c (2) and 2c, tied with oblong Manila cancellations (stamps obliterating the penalty statement), showing elusive Manila red circular registration “Received reg. Div./Manila P. I.” ds (center date inverted), minor imperfections not detracting from overall scarcity of this cover.
