Man Smoking Pipe, Type 2 (Rohloff E-2), exceptionally clear and crisp strike ties 1868 3c F Grill (94) to Brandon, Mississippi, "Waterbury Con Oct 8 '68" double circle date stamp alongside, cover with trivial light staining and slightly reduced at right well away from stamp, stamp with light diagonal crease, none of which detracts from the Extremely Fine cover, this is the only known example of this cancel on full cover and far and away the finest known strike, the Type 2 Man Smoking Pipe is substantially rarer than its Type 1 counterpart, in our opinion one of the most extraordinary Waterbury covers in existence, illustrated in Rohloff (page 66)rnProvenance: Dr. Glenn Jackson (R.A.
