Sure there is. The suitor probably explained it to me when he provided the image. I posted the basics of what I remember. Others have looked into it a lot more than I have. I am happy getting the rounddate of the postal clerk and using any regular stamps for the Certificate of Mailing.

I am not saying there is no sense to the double-bar "$" and being the Postmaster by signing. I have not gotten interested enough in the benefits of all that to study it more.

If you look into the UN UPU Constitution and find something interesting, I might throw some time at it.



Regards,

David Merrill.
