ARGENTINA 6 centavos postal card sent 26 May 1894 from BUENOS AIRES, via RIO DE JANEIRO, via ST. THOMAS, to MEXICO, seemingly without a town name. In Mexico, first received in VERA CRUZ, then MEXICO D.F. (Mexico City), SUCORS, and finally received at LISTA, with all Mexican markings over a span of 5 days! This demonstrates a tremendous effort by the Mexican post office! Clear ST. THOMAS postmark, on front of card, showing transit through DWI. Quite unusual.

PONTA DELGADA (Portuguese Colony) 1900 picture post card (nice working harbor scene) sent to France, via St. Thomas. The lower left corner of the stamp was rounded before applying to the card. Any type of card or cover from Ponta Delgada is quite unusual, however, a usage via DWI is a rarity.
