Item description

Original vintage 1934 Philippines postal cover addressed directly to Franklin D. Roosevelt in Washington, D.C. The envelope is franked with three green 2-centavo Philippine Islands José Rizal stamps, all tied by original postal cancellations. The postmark appears to read Baguio, P.I., August 4, 1934. The handwritten address is directed to: Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Washington, D.C. U.S.A. Most importantly, the reverse bears the red provenance stamp: “FROM THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT COLLECTION – AUTHENTICATED BY H.R. HARMER INC., N.Y.” This identifies the envelope as originating from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s personal stamp and postal-history collection.
