Cat No: Nov. 8

image Navy Mess Hall: sent 1909 (Nov. 8) to Missouri from Canton, One of a set of satirical drawings Lewis published (his logo on reverse at upper left), depicting life aboard a US Navy vessel. This shows the mess hall, with crew members eating, brawling, laughing at a comrade who's fallen in the cat's milk dish…and one with gleeful murder in mind. Posted to Missouri, franked by a 4¢ Hong Kong King Edward VII tied by a Canton/NO 8/09 c.d.s. The nearly invisible penciled message on the picture side reads, "This is some of the Navy life at sea. #1 [the figure in the milk dish] that's me." A card as tough as hardtack., Very Fine, though with a light smudge away from cartoon. (Image)

Cat No: Hiye-Maru 1932.09.

image Hiye-Maru I.J. Seapost cover: 1932 (Sept. 8) to New York, An uncacheted cover franked by three definitives, each tied by a legible Hiye-Maru I.J. Sea Post Scenic Datestamp dated 8.9./1932. No "To US" handstamp. Reverse with "C-5" and "DO NOT OPEN", both manuscript in pencil, with a vertical kan handstamp sealing the flap. Addressed to one of Lewis' earliest cover customers, Harry G. Avery, in Buffalo. Opened cleanly at right. Penciled "S" on face at lower left supposedly means "a first voyage" (see Lot 2285), but the Hiye-Maru was launched in 1930, and her Scenic Datestamp was introduced June 16, 1932. Perhaps this was the first sailing for which Lewis obtained a cancel? Note the typed inscription omits the ship's name. One for further research., Very Fine. (Image)
