Cat No: 7LB14

image 7LB14, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1855 1c Blue on buff, single affixed to 1850 folded letter addressed to Baltimore on which it did not originate, blue May 26 Philadelphia cds, stamp with remarkably bold impression of the design and attractive margins, small scissor cut at bottom right clear of the design, Very Fine and exceptionally attractive stamp, 2020 Philatelic Foundation certificate (Scott $5,000 for off cover single)rnThe history of Carriers Stamps in Philadelphia is incredibly interesting and well-documented by Scott Trepel in The 1851 Issue of United States Stamps: A Sesquicentennial Retrospective (2006, Part VI). After using the typeset issues (7LB1-9) from 1850 to early 1851, Philadelphia began using the lithographed issues (7LB11-13) and the federal Franklin and Eagle issues (LO1-2) concurrently. From early 1853 onward only the Eagle issue is known used, until a cluster of covers appears in 1856 using what can only be called a "provisional" handstamped issue (7LB14/18), presumably stemming from a shortage of LO2.rnProvenance: Alfred H. Caspary (H.R. Harmer Sale 1070, 1957)rnAmbassador J. William Middendorf, II (Frajola Net Price Sale 4, 1990)rnEdgar Kuphal (R.A. Siegel Sale 925, 2006) (Image)
