Oswald’s Seaport Trader Order Coupon Mystery Solved

[Michael Walton]

Ah, OK, thanks David. I thought it was a stamp because it's pretty badly misaligned, like it was stamped on. I guess it was a rush job and they typed in the name and address at a later date. If you look at it, everything else is lined up nicely except the address.

I still find it interesting how that one form is such a hodge-podge of handwritten and typed up stuff. It'd be really neat to see what the forms looked like 4 or 5 back and after this one, to see if those, too, were such a hodge-podge of handwritten and [crooked] typed up. And as John I. says, it's also interesting how the SN is written in and everything else is typed up. If nothing else you have to ask - what the hell was going on in the orders department LOL?

Was Judy and the gang scribbling in everything that's coming in, then perhaps at the end of the week, their KGB-linked Russian office manager Valeri told them to go back and type in the name and address of each one? Perhaps Valeri didn't quite know which one was going to be the one 8 months ahead of time to pull for his KGB moles to pass on to the FBI so LHO would be the accused assassin - LOL.

LOL!

Mr. BALL. Is there anything in your files which shows that the Railway Express did remit to you the $19.95?
Mr. MICHAELIS. The fact that the exhibit number--may I see this green one?
Mr. BALL. Five.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Was attached to the red copy of the invoice.
Mr. BALL. Red copy of the invoice being----
Mr. MICHAELIS. No; was attached to the red copy of the invoice, exhibit number----
Mr. BALL. Two.
Mr. MICHAELIS. Indicates that the money was received.





It would be nice to have a color photo of Michaelis Exhibit #2.

That shows the amount of the COD was paid from one company to another.

What I'm looking for is the receipt that shows LHO paid the COD amount.

Ever order something COD? Not too common these days.  When the package is delivered to the original customer generally

the shipper wants a receipt signed by the person receiving it. The buyer pays the COD amount and signs a receipt indicating the amount

paid and that the package was received. Both party's get a copy.

Considering the stuff found amongst LHO's personnel effects one expects such a receipt would have been there.

Besides, “paid” is written in on the line that says “excise tax”.

[Martin Weidmann]

Who wrote the delivery information on the green document?

There wasn't an excise tax.

There wasn't an excise tax.

Of course there was. It was paid [presumably] by the supplier.

Who wrote the delivery information on the green document?

No one will ever know.

What it absolutely screams is that it really was a Military Industrial Intelligence Community Complex c-o-n-s-p-i-r-a-c-y all after all, with hundreds (if not thousands!) of people involved!

Dozens anyway.
