Item description

Original World War II-era USO postcard, postmarked Detroit, Michigan, February 23, 1944, and retaining its original 2¢ John Adams Presidential-series postage stamp. The card features the colorful USO – United Service Organizations emblem and includes a handwritten wartime message describing train travel through Detroit and Cincinnati. The sender’s return information appears to reference the Y.W.C.A. in Detroit, Michigan, adding additional WWII home-front interest. A nice original piece of 1944 American wartime postal history with strong USO, YWCA, transportation, and WWII-era appeal. Condition: Used vintage condition with age toning, light soiling, handling wear, creasing, and minor edge/corner wear consistent with an approximately 80-year-old mailed postcard. Stamp and Detroit cancellation remain clearly visible. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition and handwriting. An appealing collectible for enthusiasts of WWII memorabilia, USO history, YWCA history, Detroit postal history, wartime correspondence, and Presidential-series stamps.
