Item Description
INTERESTING Melha Temple COVER w Design Swipe from CIVIL WAR PATRIOTIC: includes an example of the original patriotic cover; 1c Green, (Scott #300) tied to 5.5" x 8.25" cover by Springfield Mass 1906 machine cnl, addr Westfield Mass, cover has duplication of the famous Civil War sailor and flag design, Melha Temple c/c and THE DAY WE CELEBRATE APRIL 19th 1906 in bold Red, White and Blue colors, two file folds have been pressed, couple minor flaws, reverse blank except for pencil No., original design on clean VF envelope accompanies for display, Fine-VF lot.So what exactly was the Melha Temple celebrating? It's difficult to say, but some people see April 19th 1775 as the start of the American Revolution, due to the beginning of the Lexington-Concord battles. No matter what it was the date was a bit awkward as it turned out to be the day the SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE Occurred.
The Melha Temple A.A.O.N.M.S. are a branch of the Shriners.
Some people believe the sailor in the original design was intended to be Abraham Lincoln.
