(…) (… DESK) JAN 27 1938 handstamp, JAN 29 REC’D handstamp, partially clear printed address on cover flap reading … MILO BAR BELL SYSTEM, BOX 8277, N. PHILA. P.O. (Scott 834, OX21 ) Est. Cash Val. $15,000 - 20,000 The envelope was sent to Java, the addressee could not be located and the envelope was returned to the sender two months later. While it is hard to determine when the envelope was damaged during transit and needed the official seals, the seals appear to have been added in Philadelphia on January 27, 1939 based on the seals covering the oval New York January 26 handstamps but clearly being tied by the Philadelphia January 27, 1939 handstamps. The damage to the envelope is a strong indication that the envelope had enclosures of some weight. The weight of the envelope was likely between 3 - 3½ ounces paying 7- times the 70¢ rate per ounce Trans-Pacific air mail rate (FAM to Hong King and beyond by air) with the 15¢ registry fee resulting in a 5-cent overpayment. This is the only recorded commercial usage of a single $5 Presidential used on an envelope to a foreign country that we have seen. Obviously a significant part of United States 20th Century Postal History Cover
