3002   Brownes Easton Despatch, Easton Pa., 2c Black on Red (30L1).> Ms. cancel, mostly ample margins, heavy thin breaks paper<><>^ONE OF FIVE OR SIX KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE BROWNS EASTON DESPATCH POST 2-CENT ON VERMILION, SCOTT 30L1.^<><>The <<Easton WBrowne's Easton Despatch, Easton Pa., 2c Black on Red (30L1). Ms. cancel, mostly ample margins, heavy thin breaks paper

ONE OF FIVE OR SIX KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE BROWN'S EASTON DESPATCH POST 2-CENT ON VERMILION, SCOTT 30L1.

The Easton Whig newspaper announced the establishment of Browne's Easton Despatch by William J. Browne, located at 4 North Third Street in Easton, on October 7, 1857. The announcement reads, in part: "...letters, notes, circulars, bank notices, invacations of whatever nature etc. Letters etc. may be left at the letter box and prepaid stamps can be obtained at the office at the rate of 2 cents per every distance not over two miles from the Courthouse, either in this state or in New Jersey." A later notice (Feb. 10, 1858) advertised Browne's post in connection with sending Valentines and mentioned service to Easton, South Easton and Philipsburg -- the latter a violation of the laws governing post roads.

Of the six 30L1 stamps located in our records, there is some doubt about the genuineness of an uncancelled stamp affixed to a cover, leaving four pen-cancelled stamps and one uncancelled stamp. (Image)

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE 3-CENT 1851 ISSUE ON A CALIFORNIA PENNY POST COMPANY 7-CENT ENTIRE.

The 3c 1851 stamps were necessary to pay the U.S. government rate from Camptonville to San Francisco. In this case the origin is unknown. The 7c Penny Post Co. entire was designed to pay the rates for delivery to the post office (2c) and delivery from the post office in San Francisco (5c). Eight used entires are reported in Lyons census in July 2005 Penny Post. (Image)

II (11A),> small but mostly clear margins, tied by grid and Baltimore Md. FeG. Carter's Despatch, Philadelphia Pa., (2c) Blue on Buff Entire (36LU1). Embossed in upper right corner of cover to Philadelphia street address, 3c Brownish Carmine, Ty. II (11A), small but mostly clear margins, tied by grid and "Baltimore Md. Feb. 18" (ca. 1852) circular datestamp

VERY FINE. ONE OF A HALF-DOZEN KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE CARTER'S DISPATCH ENTIRE.

About a half-dozen examples of the Carter's embossed entire are known, including three addressed to Caleb D. West in Philadelphia with 3c 1851 stamps. A December 1851 usage with the Orange Brown tied by the Philadelphia & Baltimore Railroad datestamp realized $3,000 hammer in our Golden sale. The others are early 1852 usages with Brownish Carmine shades tied by Baltimore datestamps. Carter's post is thought to have ceased operation in 1851, prior to the time these covers were mailed. Even if Carter's post still existed, it is unlikely that the Philadelphia post office would turn mail received from Baltimore or the railroad route agent over to a private local post for street delivery. The best explanation for these late usages of the embossed entire is that they were used simply as envelopes (see Steven M. Roth's article in The Penny Post, November 1992). They are nonetheless rare and desirable, and they are the basis of the Scott listings.
