1072 c imageD. O. Blood & Co., Philadelphia Pa., (2c) Black (15L6). Cut close all around, light but legible strike of "Blood's Despatch 2 Cts." double-circle handstamp, not tied and apparently applied to stamp prior to use, used on 1847 folded letter to New York City, blue "Philada. Pa. 5 cts. Dec. 29" integral-rate datestamp, Fine, although one's initial instinct would be to consider this untied stamp as not original to the cover, the use of the Blood's "2 Cts." handstamp is extremely unusual and may have been used at this time to indicate the value of the stamp when sold, the Dec. 1847 date of use is appropriate, and we see nothing to indicate the stamp was added, probably a very rare genuine Blood's usage -- offered "as is" to the specialists who will recognize the possibilities (Image) E. 300-400
