Berlin, Divided City.

Check Point Charlie, arguably the most famous border crossing in the world at one time.


This is part of the Berlin Wall and border between East and West Berlin at Sebastianstrasse.

Here are two postmarks with Cold War tie-ins.

This one notes the famous "Iron Curtain" speech given by Winston Churchill in Fulton, Missouri, in which his phrase was first used.  A 'station' can be a small post office, not the main one of a city; these stations are given names, Cold War in this case.


Communism in Russia dies and Merry Christmas!
This cancel would have been especially made for the stamp expostion in Anahiem CA and was not used for general mail.
