Item description

Original 1936 Cuba cover addressed directly to President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House in Washington, D.C. This historic envelope originates from Misioneros de Paz en America (Missionaries of Peace in America), Luyanó, Havana, Cuba, giving it an interesting connection to the international peace movement during Roosevelt’s presidency. The cover retains its original Cuban postage stamp and has a clearly visible HABANA, CUBA – SEP 17, 1936 postal cancellation. The Cuban postal slogan cancellation concerning domestically manufactured cigars is also visible. Most importantly, the reverse is stamped: “FROM THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT COLLECTION – AUTHENTICATED BY H.R. HARMER INC., N.Y.” This provenance identifies the cover as having originated from the famous Franklin D. Roosevelt Collection, an important feature for collectors of presidential, political and postal history. The envelope shows expected age-related wear, including toning, edge wear, small tears/roughness along the upper edge, and handling marks. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description. A fascinating 90-year-old piece of FDR-era history combining: * Franklin D. Roosevelt presidential memorabilia * H.R. Harmer authenticated FDR Collection provenance * 1936 Havana, Cuba postal history * Misioneros de Paz en America / peace movement history * Original Cuban stamp and cancellations Guaranteed to be the exact original cover shown in the photographs.
