An odd piece of evidence showed up on December 4, 1963, at the Irving Post Office in the “Nixie” section of their mail sorting area. Things were called “Nixie” if they had a non-existent or unlocatable address or when the mail or parcels have been damaged in transit.
This particular package was addressed to Mr. Lee Oswald at a non-existent address in Dallas, Texas. The brown paper parcel contained what appeared to be a brown paper bag made of fairly heavy brown paper. The paper was open on both ends and was 18” long. There was no address on the outer wrapper. The Post Office never determined who put this parcel in the “Nixie” section and it clearly could NOT have been mailed since the address it had was non-existent and it had NO postage on the outside wrapper.
This was covered in Commission Document (CD) 205, p. 148. Keep in mind, the vast majority of CD’s were NOT seen by the American public for many years.

What was the purpose of this bag? The document also says, "...inquiry by Post Office personnel failed to result in the identification of any postal employees who had handled the parcel or knew anything about the parcel . It was not possible to identify the postal employee who had placed the parcel in the "Nixie " section at the Irving Post Office."
This bag would have been too short to hold a Mannlicher-Carcano in it and we have no way of showing which employee handled it or put it in the "Nixie" section, therefore, it isn't a wild claim to say it would seem it was for something else or to frame Lee Harvey Oswald (LHO) with. Could it have been placed there by Postal Inspector/FBI informant Harry Holmes? That would seem to be a good guess to me. What do you think?
Interestingly, a second package came up in the CDs. In CD 735, a report by Robert Gemberling of the FBI, we see a small tidbit about a package. Here are the details.

Mr. Roy F. Armstrong is a Postal Inspector at the U.S. Post Office in Dallas, Texas, and he determined...that a package for which "An Attempt to Deliver Mail" November 20, 1963, addressed to LEE OSWALD, 2515 West 5th Street, Irving, Texas, and instructing OSWALD to call at the Irving Post Office for a parcel on which twelve cents postage was due, had been delivered to Mrs. MARINA OSWALD on November 21 or 22, 1963. He added that this package had been determined to be a newspaper or magazine, other identity unknown. (CD 735, p. 255; p. 1 in original)

This package was delivered on either November 21 or November 22, 1963, to Marina Oswald at Ruth Paine's house. What IF it wasn't a magazine or newspaper? Why would either item merit a write up by the FBI? What if it was something else that could have framed LHO?
This should have been checked out more. It should have been determined what weight would cost twelve cents postage as well. Furthermore, why would LHO have things sent to the Paine's house when he wasn't living there?
Just a few more questions to add the thousands we have already never been given answers to.
