Harmer International Sale 1 Lot 95 realized 250
Alexander listed as 2/9/48
CDS. The Lockport marking is dated Feb 17. This does not agree with the CDS on the reverse (2/9/48) nor the Queenston marking (2/12/48). Strange. Perhaps this cover was returned to its sender and the CDS on the front is a record of the return date.
