 LO1, 1851 (1c) Dull blue on Rose, single with red star cancel on 1852 folded letter to West Chester, Pennsylvania, 1851 3c Orange brown (10A) tied by blue "Philadelphia Pa. Jul 8" datestamp, light vertical creases, the 3c
stamp lifted and hinged back, very fine, just 18 covers with this stamp are recorded in Dr. Vernon Morris's February 2011 census (Chronicle 229) which does not include this cover, of those 18 only two also bear United States postage stamps, an
extraordinary rarity which has apparently been unreported in the philatelic literature, 2022 Philatelic Foundation certificate (Scott does not list or price this combination)
The Franklin Carrier stamp is extremely rare on cover, with or without an additional adhesive stamp. Although the exact number is somewhat debated, the census by Dr. Vernon R. Morris, Jr. (Chronicle 229) lists 18 covers that he believes to be
genuine. Although this cover is not among those he listed, another cover from the same correspondence is included (census #10). This cover has not been seen since a 1966 R.A. Siegel sale. The cover offered here bears a 1925 label on the reverse from
Elliot Perry, which shows that it has been known to philatelists for at least almost a century, but our research has failed to locate any record of it at auction in the interim. (Image 1)

 15L1, Philadelphia Despatch Post, 1842 3c Red, octagonal margins, red "Paid" and large "3" with manuscript "R&Co", tied by red "Philadelphia Pa. Apr 20" datestamp on 1843 folded letter to New York, mansucript "12½" rate,
extremely fine and especially desirable with the stamp tied by such a crisp datestamp, just 14 covers recorded by Dr. Vernon Morris with this being the second earliest example, in reviewing the photographic census we believe this to be the finest
cover with this stamp in existence, made even more appealing by the fact that it has never appeared at public auction, 2022 Philatelic Foundation certificate (Scott $5,000 for untied on cover, not priced tied)
A 2013 Penny Post article Dr. Vernon R. Morris, Jr. (Vol. 21, No. 2) records 14 covers with 15L1, all used between February 15 and November 8, 1843 (R.A. Siegel reports 15 covers). The cover offered here is #2 in Morris's census. Following the
British "Penny Black" and Greig's City Despatch Post in New York City, the Philadelphia Despatch Post was only the third entity in the world to issue stamps for the prepayment of postage (15L1, 3c red on bluish, and the earlier 15L2, 3c Black), both
of which are extremely scarce. To this end, Morris states that "15L1 participated in the advancement of written communication through specialization and innovation of postal service dedicated and restricted solely to local service in one city."
Although primitive in design, the Philadelphia Despatch Post stamps represent an important step in the develpment of the American postal system. (Image 1)
