In Solvang, CA today and came across this amazing 1917 registered cover sent from here to Denmark! Mailed by Rev. Chr. Andersen with 5¢ Washington & 10¢ Franklin stamps. Incredible to see Solvang’s Danish roots literally stamped in postal history. #Philately #Solvang

📮 On this day in 1877, the Leadville, CO post office opened, sparking a vital hub in the heart of the Silver Boom! As a postal history collector and descendant of Leadville native Edith Alice Macia (b. Sept 17, 1884), I’m celebrating this milestone. 🥂 #Philately #Leadville.
