Signed Postal Cover
22848Twins Esther and Pauline Friedman of Sioux City Iowa won a huge following as syndicated advice columnists. Signed Postal Cover 6½" X 3½" cancelled in Social Circle Georgia on 14 July 1973. Near fine. Single 8-cent "Rise of the Spirit of Independence" stamp at upper right; no decorative cachet at left and no recipient's name/address. The twins each sign large and bold in black fineline Ann on top Abby below near the lower left. Not a First Day Cover but the enterprising collector used this stamp because it depicts newspapers being pulled off a colonial hand-pull press and this cancellation as relevant to the coincidental nature of twin sisters in identical professions. Nice! Small portions of both original transmittal envelopes also present. unknown
