5c Orange Brown (1b). Large even margins, tied by black "Warren Pa. Apr. 11" circular datestamp on mostly complete blue folded cover to Meadville Pa., 1851 docketing on back, Extremely Fine appearance, and now for the certification saga -- submitted to P.F. in 2000 as Brown Orange No. 1b, but certified as a sound Red Brown No. 1, then resubmitted to P.F. in 2007 as Ridgeway "Russet" shade of Red Brown, but this time certified as Orange Brown No. 1b "with a tiny hole at top of the second 'F' in 'Office'" -- in our opinion, it is an 1851 Brown Orange and there is a small hole as noted, but the more important aspect is the use of the black town datestamp to cancel the stamp -- ex Barwis (also noted as ex Gibson) (Image)
