Washington-Head Issue on Cover

This is an on-cover example of a multiple of 4 of the three cent Washington stamp from the first issue of this long-lived series of definitive stamps. This stamp is given the Scott number of 333. The franking of 12 cents pays for First Class mail and Registration. The cover was cancelled October 22, 1910, while the first issue of Washington head stamps was available. These stamps on cover fascinate me, due to the endless variety in both stamp color and usage. I am always interested in the "story" told by the cover, that enhances my interest beyond the stamp itself.
