HAND STAMP
Registration hand stamps were used by postal clerks to mark the date, location and occasionally time that a piece of mail was processed. This tiny registration handstamp marking device was salvaged from the battleship U.S.S. Oklahoma.Because the attack on Pearl Harbor came early on Sunday morning, the registration hand stamp still carried the previous day's date, "Dec. 6, 1941."
This photographically flipped image makes the name and date of the hand stamp easier to read. The hand stamp is located at the National Postal Museum, Smithsonian Institution, MRC-570, Washington, DC 20560-0570
