1861-67 Issues
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
331 c image10c Dark Green, First Design (62B). Wide straddle-pane margin at right, used with 5c Brown Yellow (67a), both stamps tied by red "Newark, N.J. Paid Sep. 20" (1861) circular datestamp on small cover to Guttstadt, Prussia, partly clear "N.York Hamb. Pkt. Paid 10 Sep. 21" credit datestamp, "FRANCO" straightline handstamp with corresponding Hamburg double-circle and oval datestamps on back (Oct. 7, 1861), Guttstadt receiving backstamp, small piece of backflap missing, slight wear and soiling, stamps have faint toning

VERY FINE. AN EXTRAORDINARILY UNCOMMON FRANKING FOR THE 15-CENT RATE TO GERMANY BY DIRECT MAIL TO HAMBURG.

According to North Atlantic Mail Sailings 1840-75, the HAPAG steamer Hammonia left New York on Sep. 21, 1861, arriving at Hamburg on Oct. 3. If this sailing information is correct, we do not know why four days lapsed before the Hamburg office datestamped the letter.
