USA Postal History

Postal History Ephemera. Rochester Depot, Ohio 1880 and Rochester, Ohio 1883. Pair of large, wall mountable Postmaster Appointments. Interesting pair of appointments, both issued to Philip Kessler for these Lorain County Post Offices. The 1880 Appointment is signed by Postmaster General Horace Maynard (appointed PMG by President Rutherford B Hayes), and the 1883 Appointment is signed by Postmaster General Frank Hatton (appointed PMG by President Chester A Arthur). These two folded sheets (easily unfolded) have been hiding away here on Vancouver Island for decades, and it is time to find them a new home. Estimate
