VERY FINE. ONE OF THREE RECORDED COVERS WITH HALE & COMPANY'S PITTSFIELD OFFICE HANDSTAMP, TWO OF WHICH BEAR STAMPS (BOTH 75L5).
Six Hale & Co. covers from Pittsfield are recorded by Gutman, of which only three have the Hale & Co. Pittsfield oval. The cover offered here and one other (Jul. 30, 1844) are stamped, each with 75L5. The third cover with the oval handstamp is stampless (Jul. 29, 1844, ex Hall, Siegel Sale 830, lot 332).
Accompanying this cover is an original newspaper clipping from the Jul. 25, 1844, edition of the Berkshire County Whig, with an advertisement placed by E. P. Little, Hale's agent and owner of a local bookstore.
Illustrated in Gutman Hale book (page 203). Ex Hall. With 2001 P.F. certificate (Image)
