notation 6/22/1870), sent to Plymouth, Vermont, stamps are fresh and sound, cover with minor staining on the left, Very Fine. Scott No. 112; Estimate $750 - 1,000.
A WONDERFUL THREE COLOR, THREE ISSUE AND THREE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
FRANKING.
An unusual and rare cover, as well as a delightful salute to Franklin. With the late usage of the 1861 1¢ Blue; the "T" of the addressee, Rueben Taylor, and the "V" in Vermont in the shape of hearts; and the addressor's
youthful handwriting in pencil, there is the possibility of this being a "philatelic" cover sent by a teenager in love, at the prompting of her stamp collecting boyfriend. A very early example of a philatelic cover. A terrific cover on many
levels. (Image1)
