Insurance Agent Cancels: G. Rosenblatt of Portland, Oregon

 

from The Sunday Oregonian, January 6, 1895

There may have been another G. Rosenblatt insurance agent somewhere in the US during the 1898 tax era but this is the only one that shows up with a reasonable search effort.  The G. Rosenblatt on the cancels below is assumed to have been in the insurance business due to the the firms use of 1/2 cent stamps; the assumption is also supported by the use of the 4 and 5 cent stamps.
