Very nice matching pair of First Day Covers, each bearing a single copy of the 1944 Centenary of the Telegraph 3¢ commemorative stamp (Sc. #924), each postmarked from a different city on the first day of issue.
Postmarked: 1) MC - Baltimore, Maryland - May 24, 1944
2) MC - Washington, D.C. - May 24, 1944
Cachet: Purple and black IOOR design featuring a man sitting by a telegraph, apparently receiving the first telegraph message: "WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT".
Condition: Generally clean and fresh, with neatly typed addresses. The cover with the Baltimore cancel has a very small wrinkle at the lower left corner (see scan).
MULTIPLE ITEM SHIPPING DISCOUNT: I will ship up to 4 covers for the single base shipping charge shown. (This lot includes 2 covers.) For purchases of more than 4 covers, the shipping charge will increase by just a small increment for every 4 additional covers.
