image 1897 "PAID ALL" Rate Handstamp on Cover, dated SEP.24.1897 on St John's drop letter. This handstamp was used as a temporary measure due to a shortage of low value stamps lost in the wreck of the steamer Capulet, recorded used from SEP.24 to DEC.5, thus making this the earliest known, or even a first day cover. Creases, still fine. (Image)

Coffee Co. in New York City. The population is given as 197,332 at the time.

A lovely item which once adorned the title page of the owner's exhibit "Selected Cents Covers, 1865-1909". (Image)
