LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
4669   image"D-Day, The Invasion Has Begun", gorgeous handpainted unaddressed cover franked with a 3¢ "Win the War" tied by Rhinebeck N.Y. machine cancel dated Jun 6 1944—D-Day, Extremely Fine.
Knapp D-Day 2.
Estimate $1,000 - 1,500

Accompanied by a 1976 postcard from AFDCS president, Curtis Patterson, to the cover's owner in which Patterson relates sending the cover to Knapp and asking her for any information she could provide on it. Knapp responded that she recalled that, at the request of a customer, she had painted the design on a blank envelope and the customer had arranged to have his Post Office back-date the cancel to June 6 [the date of D-Day was, for obvious reasons, kept secret until the invasion had actually taken place, so there was no way to prepare covers in advance]. Knapp goes on to say that she then prepared a few more such covers (she was unsure of the number) and prevailed upon her local Rhinebeck postmaster to back-date the cancels.
