16076 Stamp 33L7 imageCalifornia City Letter Express Co., 33L7, 10c Red, Third Setting, Light Pen Cancel
One of Only Two Known Examples of the California City Letter Express 10c Red Issue, Third Setting

Figure 8, in Lyon's Articles, California City Letter Express The Three Types and the Variations Used, with light manuscript cancel. Repairs including a repaired tear and added margins at top and bottom. Fine to very fine appearance. Lyons records that the two recorded red Type 3 design, 33L7 stamps both have the word "office" at the end of line eight and both have a comma after "delivered" and a period after "Street." This example has an error in the seventh line, where the word "House" seemingly has an "n" instead of a "u".
