LO2, 1851 1c Blue, Eagle Carrier, three full frame lines, tied by blue "Cincinnati O. Dec 4" datestamp and matching squared target cancel, 1851 3c Dull red (11) also tied by datestamp, on 1854 cover to Georgetown, Ohio, light soiling away from stamps, otherwise extremely fine, probably the earliest recorded use of the Eagle carrier stamp from Cincinnati This cover is illustrated in Donald B. Johnstone's "Franklin and Eagle Carrier Stamps" (Chronicle Vol. 37, No. 1), where it is identified as the earliest recorded use of the Eagle carrier stamp from Cincinnati. This cover is further discussed in John D. Bowman's "The Squared Target Cancellation of Williamsand the Cincinnati Carrier Service" (Penny Post Vol. 14, No. 3), which attributes the squared target cancel to C.C. Williams. This marking is also found on the Williams' City Post stamp used several months earlier in 1854. (Image)
