3c Rose, E. Grill (88). Deep shade, tied by perfect bold strike of Eagle & Shield fancy cancel, 3-bar type, with "Corry Pa. Jun. 23" circular datestamp on buff cover to Lewisburg Pa., Extremely Fine, this smaller Eagle & Shield cancel was in use for a long period of time, thus it is more common than the others -- however, this is an early strike showing little wear and incredibly sharp detail, and this superb cover should not be confused with the average example (Image)

3c Green (147). Tied by clear strike of One-Hump Camel fancy cancel, lightly struck "Corry Pa. Apr. 24" (ca. 1871) circular datestamp on cover to Erie Pa., opening tears at bottom, otherwise Very Fine, this exceedingly rare Corry cancellation might be the only 19th Century American postal marking to depict a camel, we can only speculate as to what inspired Postmaster Foreman to carve a dromedary (had the circus passed through Corry?)
