John Wanamaker Co. was a department store founded in Philadelphia. When they expanded to NY they acquired a Schermack machine with control perforation die. The Philadelphia store used a Schermack without control marks.John Wanamaker raised large political doanations for Benjamin Harrison. When he was elected President, he appointed John Wanamaker his Post Master General.Some early (1909) covers are reported on Review Of Review corner cards. Best guess is that this was demonstration machine that was later sold to Wanamaker. |
