Paris Exposition Cancel
|
At
the Paris Exposition, 1900, the
United States participated as an exhibitor and maintained a postal
station
on the grounds. There are several types of postmarks which
have been seen on covers, with French stamps, postmarked at the
office. Allan M. Thatcher submits a cover with one of these
markings, reading, "Paris Exposition,
U. S. Postal Sta., Oct. 23 -6 PM, 00," in three lines, in a rectangular
panel,
horizontal bars to the right, a type which seems to be one not
previously
reported. -
