A copy of a cover has been added showing a “Remember the Maine” WLS-E05 design mailed from Toronto with a Flag C cancel to Gloucester, Mass, USA on February 22, 1899 and received on February 23rd. The WLS-E05 page has been updated to the current web site format.

I don’t often collect J.C. Wilson material used within the USA unless there is something more interesting. This card struck me as one of those cards—a WLS-P05 Remember The Maine design on the subject of the Spanish-American War sent to Spain—a very provocative use.

This WLS-P05 J.C. Wilson & Co. “Remember the Maine” patriotic pioneer postcard has been mailed from Quebec City on December 16, 1901, with a 1¢ QV Numeral stamp to The Atlas Society in New York City. The card bears a rubber stamp noting “Returned to Sender, Cannot Be Forwarded” dated December 20, 1901. The card bears a December 21, 1901 Quebec City postmark upon its return.
