ONE OF ONLY TWO KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE CHESTNUT STREET LINE 1¢ BLACK ON PINK GLAZED ISSUE.

The Chestnut Street Line was a horse drawn omnibus that ran along Chestnut Street, and passed the Dock Street side of the Merchants' Exchange where the Philadelphia Post Office was located. According to Elliott Perry in notes he had prepared for Eugene Costales (when Costales owned the only known cover from this Line), the western edge of this omnibus route was near the Schuylkill River, about two miles from the Post Office. No record appears, however, of there having been a letter box located on the Chestnut Street Line, although there are records of other such traveling letter boxes on horse drawn omnibuses serving other, heavily populated sections of Philadelphia and its environs (e.g., in the Kensington and Southwark Districts). Perry argues that the convenience of having such a traveling receptacle should be obvious with respect to houses and businesses located along or near Chestnut Street, but which were not near the Post Office at Third and Dock Streets.
