 [Michigan] M.C.R.R./JUN 18 1879/WASEPI, nicely struck blue boxed datestamp on a 1¢ postal card (UX5) from Wasepi to Grand Rapids, Mich., in the style of Towle's Mobile & Ohio R.R. station
marking 420-S-3; light toning along bottom edge, Very Fine, Ex-Towle.
Towle Unlisted (610-S-1a?).
Estimate $150 - 200
In our opinion, Towle's listing of 610-S-1 is not Henderson, Tenn. on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad, but Henderson, Mich., a known station on the Michigan Central; and Wasepi is a town name unique to Michigan. (Image)
