#229
FDC of the Hawaii overprint issues (Scott 647-648) in combination on a legal size penalty cover from the PO Department Division of stamps, addressed to East Cleveland OH, some pencil markings at lower left, overfrank of airmail rate.  Unfortunately the 2 cent stamp has been damaged (upper left corner).
$20
#212
Nice combination of #210 and #211 (the 2 cent red brown and the 4 cent blue green banknotes) on a legal size penalty imprint cover.  Imprint is crossed out, stamps applied because the item was on personal, not government, business; triple rate.  Indistinct CDS, probably MO based on docketing.  Apparently carried depositions (with docketing to that effect and with court address).  Some roughness at right and at upper left, though toning at right isn't as bad as scan shows.  Scarce combination. 
$20
#235
Gone postal?  M.O. Business penalty envelope, legal size, from Boston with 1898 flag ancel to Greenville, New Hampshire.  The Greenville PM struck the cover 8 times with his receiver -- and then for good measure 11 more times on the reverse!  A few wrinklikes and markings from what may have been rubber bands, but a most interesting item nonetheless.
$20
#217
Scarce 1905 Muskogee, Indian Territory doremus machine with "Ind. T." abbreviation, used only in 1905 and possibly early 1906, on a United States Indian Service penalty cover, to Okmulgee, with backstamp.  Rough condition, with reduction at right, edge wear and toning, but a scarce machine cancel.
$20
