2528 c image(New Town Md., 1772) "NEW/TOWN". Red two-line handstamp boldly struck on back of folded cover to John Cadwalader in Philadelphia, originated in Talbot Md. with manuscript "Talbot" postmark and "2.16" (2dwt 16gr) rate, red manuscript "1/4" due in local currency (2dwt16gr=8p x 1.67 inflation factor=14p plus 2p carrier fee, or 1sh4p), receipt docketing "Joseph Peddle, 16th Novr 1772", toned along file folds (one passes thru backstamp), minor faults

VERY FINE STRIKE OF THE RARE "NEW/TOWN" BRITISH COLONIAL HANDSTAMP, APPLIED IN TRANSIT FROM TALBOT, MARYLAND, TO PHILADELPHIA.

Siskin reported three "documented" examples of the "NEW/TOWN" handstamp, describing his 3/19/1773 cover as the finest and latest. The cover offered here falls within the recorded date range (1770-73), and the strike is comparable to the Siskin example, although it obviously differs from the marking on earlier covers offered in lot 2523-2525 in this sale. The Siskin exhibit and sale catalogue did not note the presence of the "Queen Anne" manuscript postmark on his cover, although it is the listing example in the ASCC. Both the Queen Anne and Talbot post offices were located across the Chesapeake Bay. For a brief period mail originating from Eastern Shore offices was postmarked at New Town on the route north to Philadelphia (see Ter Braake, pp. W-6-7).
