4824 c imageCity Despatch Post. Large red double-circle handstamp without a date or rate ("t" of "Post" also seems to be missing from this clear strike), on folded cover docketed "Boorman & Johnstone 9 Mo 25/44" indicating New York City origin, Sep. 25, 1844, file fold with small tear at top, Very Fine, an enigmatic marking, which was the subject of an article by Richard Schwartz (The Penny Post, Jan. 1993), who speculates that the marking might be representative of Halsey's Despatch, the firm that D. O. Blood is said to have acquired in 1845, ex Golden (where it realized $2,200 hammer after a spirited bidding contest) (Image) E. 1,500-2,000

4825 c imageCity Despatch. Red circle with two bars inside, no visible AM or PM designation and clogged letters indicating lengthy usage, with matching "3" rate handstamp on Very Fine folded letter carried outside the mails to Philadelphia street address, datelined "Fort Brooke U.S.A. Dec. 29, 1845" -- Fort Brooke is listed in Military Forts of the United States as a Florida garrison -- the writer made an error in dating the letter 1845, because he refers to "next July 1845", and the docketing copies the incorrect dateline -- assuming this was mailed in Dec. 1844 and arrived in Jan. 1845, the City Despatch marking falls into sequence with the five other recorded examples -- a great usage, ex Golden (Image) E. 500-750
