	Special Delivery Markings of Boston, Ma. Post Office
		While none of the recorded first day covers of the first special delivery stamp are known from Boston, that post office utilized numerous early markings and continued to have an influence on the special delivery markings of various post offices which copied or followed the directions of the Boston office.
		When mail could not be delivered, a few cities, including Boston, printed a label which told the addressee that the mail was returned to the post office and would then be treated as regular mail; the carrier, however, received his eight cents for the first delivery.
		San Francisco and Oakland, California, pre-dated Boston by seven years, starting in November 1885 and early in 1886, respectively, to be machine marking devices; but the Boston area did have a lot of neat and color markings and is to be given credit for setting a fine standard for the new service.
