1782 [1979 15 cent Architecture: Philadelphia Exchange] (Fine) used on December 26, 1979 cover, from "MAJURO, MARSHALL ISLANDS / 96960" with both that black 4-bar cancellation and a magenta 2-ring cancellation (USPO, without zip code), to the U.S. From a small (three covers) correspondence. The envelope paper is aged, but covers from the MARSHALL ISLANDS (Pacific islands location of atomic bomb testing) are rarely seen. Previously a U.S. Trust Territory, in 1979 the U.S. recognized the Marshall Islands government and constitution. These two cancellations bear the new Marshall Islands name (instead of Trust Territory). ACTUAL item. |
