I purchased a group of Salem, MA covers in the recent Harmer sale of Mark Swartz' Salem exhibit. This image is a seal 3/8 x1/2" on a ladies cover measuring 2 3/8 x 4 1/4". When I first looked at it I couldn't figure out the image. It was applied upside down which made it harder. I used image sleuth and it makes it easier to see it is a scene of sailing ships in front of a building.

Possibly the YMCA?

I seem to recall these building labels being for YMCAs possibly.

I heard that too, probably here.Happy
I did a search on Google and Bing but did not find any information on these labels. I have several in my collection and they have a religious/Christian context so The YMCA is probably correct.
