Estimate; $200 - 300.

The Postmaster at San Francisco had an excess supply of 10¢ entires that were rendered useless with the July 1, 1863 law lowering the transcontinental rate to 3¢. He first just canceled them as the March 30, 1864 cover shows to return the registered letter receipts to sender. Then in 1866, he punched a hole in the indicia and struck with P.O.B. Free facsimile frank for the same purpose, returning receipts. Some of these exist with a name only, they were placed into patrons' boxes in San Francisco. (Image1)
