4984 c imageTeese & Co. Penny Post, Philadelphia, (1c) Blue on Bluish (137l1). Large margins to barely touched, tied by blue "Philadelphia Pa. 5 cts Sep. 10" integral-rate circular datestamp on blue 1852 folded letter to Gettysburg Pa., ms. "5" rate

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TEESE & CO. COVERS KNOWN. ONLY SIX RECORDED WITH THE STAMP TIED BY A CANCELLATION.

Steven M. Roth records twelve covers, including six tied examples, in his Oct. 1993 Penny Post article. We have located an additional cover to Baltimore with the 137L1 and 3c 1851 tied by a Philadelphia Jul. 21 datestamp. However, Roth's list includes a Fox-fake tied cover (ex Malcolm, Siegel Sale 417, lot 1903), which must be removed from the record, leaving six genuinely tied covers.

Ex Schwartz. With 1982 P.F. certificate (Image)
