Expert Comments by Dr Avinash B. Jagtap
The cover sent from the USA with the personality stamp depicting one of the best character representing screen-play actor Gregory Peck. The cancellation reads "Mocking Bird Station". Late Mr. Gregory Peck acted in the film with the caption " To kill a Mocking Bird". Of-course the post office from where the envelope was dispatched has the same name (of course it must have been given after the film with the name "To kill a mocking Bird" was screened). It is a pictorial cancellation. The cover can be shown in a display which is based on "Famous Actors" or "Famous Films". Unfortunately the cancellation is rather too big and touches only one side of the stamp affixed to the cover. Had it been fully applied to all three stamps, it would have been difficult to read it (as the stamp itself is in grey-black colour). The cover can also be displayed in a collection on birds, but only with some reservations.
My recent Covers
I have received two special covers from Mrs Radha Ramalingam of Thiruvannamalai. Many thanks to Mrs Ramalingam for the covers.
Critical analysis of the cover :
On the Brihadeesarar Temple cover the special postmark does not touch the stamp so philatelically it cannot be regarded as an appropriate special cover.
Cover from USA
I received this cover with nice stamps from USA, sent by Mr Charles. The cover is not cancelled and it bears a personalized stamp with two stamps from USPS.
Thanks to Mr Charles Jensen, Florida- USA
