Rasdale Stamp Company Features Judge Lindley Green 1904 Penalty Cover in May 21-22 Public Auction

Rasdale Stamp Company will have a Judge Lindley Green 1904 Penalty Cover among other valuable and rare philatelic pieces at their May 21-22 public auction.

 

Westmont, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/28/2016 -- Rasdale Stamp Company has just announced one of the pieces that will be up for bid in their upcoming May 21-22 public auction. It is a J. Lindley Green 1904 Penalty Cover. The cover is from Rampart Alaska. This cover shows Judge Green's attempt to find a landowner by listening to the local buzz of the natives. The man's name was W. G. Strong and he could not be located. The Judge had difficulty finding Strong because of the rash of gold rushes that happened in that time frame. The area that Strong lived in was involved in the Klondike Gold Rush that happened between 1896 and 1899. After this rush was tapped out, everyone either moved on or followed the next gold rush to Nome, Alaska. The cover is a little rough and with the journey it has had, it is a spectacle to behold.

Recounting the journey the cover went on is remarkable. It was sent from Rampart, Alaska on October 1st 1904 and arrived in Fairbanks in November. Since Strong couldn't be found, it was sent back to Judge Green in Rampart. It was re-mailed on January 28th 1905 and was received more than 100 miles north on February 17th 1905. This is just one of the pieces that will be up for bid in the upcoming May 21-22 public auction that Rasdale Stamp Company will be holding.

In this May 21-22 public auction, Rasdale Stamp Company will be putting up philatelic items as well as collectibles that are from around the world.
