(the Malaysian trading conglomerate known today as Sime Darby Berhad). Despite its extraordinary journey, this vintage cover is remarkably well-preserved. Also, gum, glue, and a bit of paper residue along the flap may have been left either by the original sender or by one or more persons who opened this envelope from 1941-45. In any case, the envelope has been top-opened, presumably upon arrival at its Honolulu destination in 1945. The item “SUPER RARE!
