USS Formoe-Reverse Marking-corner number
USS Grady-Reverse Marking-corner number
USS Hyman-Reverse Marking-corner number
Second cancel is her arrival at Casco Maine after transiting panama Canal after
the war. Added Jan. 2011.
Rich Hoffner sent us this scan of a very interesting WWII cover with
dual cancels. One from 1944 and then 1946. Rich reports that the
second cancel marks the ships arrival at Casco, Maine after transiting the
Panama Canal after WWII. The cover bears Mr. Beck's hand written address
and we know that Mr. Beck was in the Navy so perhaps he knew someone or himself
was on the Hyman at that time.
