EXTREMELY FINE. A MAGNIFICENT BARNABAS BATES "CHEAP INLAND AND OCEAN POSTAGE" PROPAGANDA COVER AND BELIEVED TO THE ONLY EXAMPLE KNOWN WITH THE ONE-CENT 1851 ISSUE.

Barnabas Bates (1785-1853) was born in England and came to the United States as a child. He became a Baptist preacher in Rhode Island, where he was also for some time collector of the port of Bristol under President Adams. Bates became a Unitarian and established in New York in 1825 a weekly paper called the Christian Inquirer. During the administration of Andrew Jackson he received an appointment in the New York post office and was for some time acting postmaster. He became a reform advocate for cheap land and ocean postage, founding the New York Cheap Postage Association, which published this envelope in 1851.

Oct. 17" integral drop-rate circular datestamp on 1852 folded circular to addressee on Water Street, originated in Liverpool, England, and was carried privately to New York, then dropped at the New York Post Office, file fold clear of the stamp

VERY FINE AND FRESH. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS NEW YORK DROP-RATE MARKING APPLIED TO A ONE-CENT 1851 ISSUE STAMP ON COVER.

This cover is illustrated and briefly discussed in Ashbrook's One-Cent book, Volume II, where he states "New York had two postmarks they used frequently on Drop Letters. One was a postmark with 'Paid 1ct.' On prepaid stampless drops this was applied in red. It was rarely used on letters prepaid by a One Cent stamp." (p. 69-70).

The postmark, date and handwriting are identical to the cover offered in lot 235. This was probably part of a group of circulars bootlegged from England and dropped at the New York Post Office. (Image)
