TRYGVE LIE. Philatelic Envelope signed:

as Assistant Secretary General, "E.F. Higgins" as Postmaster of
Great Neck, N.Y., "D.B. Vaughn" as U.N. Director, "B.F.

Gregoire" as Acting Chief of the Postal Service and "Leo
Arfin" as Supervisor of the Postal Service, 6½x3½, commemorating the
"Opening of/United Nations Post Office/Lake Success, N.Y." The 5-cent
"'Toward/United Nations/April 25, 1945'/Franklin D. Roosevelt" U.S. stamp is
affixed to the envelope and is postmarked "United Nations, Lake Success,
N.Y., September 23, 1946, 9 AM." The horizontal cancellation lines bear the
words: "a courier/of the/united/nations". Although not the official U.S.
stamp issued in memory of FDR, this stamp was issued on April 25, 1945, just
13 days after FDR died, to honor the opening of the U.N. conference in San
Francisco and bears the name of the late President. All who have signed are
identified on the colorful cachet. A rare United Nations philatelic envelope
made even more desirable by the signature of the first U.N. Secretary
General. Ink lightly beaded on Lie's signature. Fine
condition.
