A nice October 30, 1944 cancel from Washington, DC as First Day of Issue postmark for the 17-cent Special Delivery stamp, Scott #E18, franking this cover with a classic cachet featuring a mail carrier riding a bicycle.  The cover was sent to Little Rock, Arkansas where it was backstamped the next day.  Interesting and attractive historic item.  Fine condition; sharper than the image may appear.  If the image does not readily appear, please try hitting your computer's reload or refresh button while viewing the item. Successful bidder to pay $1.50 shipping in the US ($2.50 elsewhere); insurance extra if desired. PayPal accepted for payment. Questions -- please ask~
