Offered here is a striking World War II-era patriotic cover postmarked November 12, 1942, in Collinsville, Connecticut, and sent the same day to Northampton, Massachusetts. The cachet features a bold blue image of the Statue of Liberty with the inscription “God Blessed America With And Justice For All!” The postage is an eye-catching plate number block of four ½¢ Benjamin Franklin stamps (Scott #803) from the 1938 Presidential Series, along with four additional singles, for a total of 4¢ postage.
