Fair Play, Col. Ty., Jan 9th, 65, manuscript postmark on cover to Auburn, N.Y, franked with 1861, 3¢ rose (s.e. at right) and manuscript canceled with sender's initials even through he wasn't the postmaster; cover slight reduced at left, Very Fine and attractive. Estimate  $500 - 750. In 1859 when prospectors flocked to Tarryall in South Park, they found a most unhospitable welcome. What's more it seemed as if all the best mining sites had been staked out. Therefore a number left and settled a community they called Fair Play to contrast the reception they had found at Tarryall. $0 (Image)
