Parcel Post, 1913, 10¢ and 2¢ carmine rose, first day usage (Scott Q6, Q2), both stamps with straight edges, tied by crisp strike of "Argyle/N.Y." duplex of "Jan 1 1913" on parcel tag to Corry, PA, only a trace of a further 2¢ stamp making up the original 14¢ franking remains, nevertheless a Very Fine and noteworthy usage, of which only a few January 1, 1913 first days are recorded, especially so on a parcel tag; with 2018 A.P.E.X. certificate.
Zone 4 (300 to 600 miles distance) for a 2-pound parcel (1st lb. 8¢ + 6¢ per additional lb. = 14¢ postage) which, according to Ken Lawrence, was therefore "the first day of zone-rated fourth-class domestic parcel post service, for which Parcel Post stamps was mandatory".
The Corry Hide and Fur Company of Corry, Pennsylvania, was a mail order business founded by the Berliner family. The company purchased furs and hides from trappers throughout North America, most notably exporting and selling these through its agents in Leipzig and London. By 1912, it boasted a large warehouse and employed 15 workers. In 1914, the family opened a leather company later known as the Berliner Company, which became the original company's successor.
This important parcel tag is accompanied by an extensive research dossier with magnified enhancements of the stamp placement (missing 2¢ stamp) and cancellation, an example of the "Argyle/N.Y./Dec 22 1912" c.d.s. tying 2¢ definitive on envelope to Cassayuna, other cancellations on various covers or cards, original correspondence from the Corry Hide & Fur Company with letterhead, shipping documents, legal receipts and cancelled check, ten parcel tags to the Corry Co., one registered on Jan. 6, 1913 from Hurry, Maryland bearing 8¢ and 10¢ (3 plus pair) Washington-Franklins, and two incoming envelopes (2) to the Corry Co.
