LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
2005 cover   image1860 (Dec. 1), California Pony Express New-York, earliest recorded use of the 12 known examples, clearly struck oval cancel in greenish-blue on 3¢ red star die entire (#U27) with patent address lines, manuscript "Pony Express" at bottom left and small "2.50" (rate) adjacent to indicia, addressed to "Messrs Crosby & Dibbler" in San Francisco; reverse with well-struck "Pony Express St Joseph Dec 6" oval Running Pony handstamp and manuscript "O.F.G."; very slightly reduced at left, Very Fine, this being the earliest recorded of the only 12 known westbound Pony Express covers with the California Pony Express dated handstamp.


The Pony Express, A Postal History book by Frajola, Kramer & Walske notes this westbound cover is part of the second peiod (July 31, 1860 to March 31, 1861); on page 28, it is written, "The Pony Express rate for a letter carried between San Francisco and St. Joseph was $2.50 per quarter ounce or less. The $2.50 rate…was often written in pencil…on covers carried. Unfortunately, many covers have had these notations erased." Illustrated on page 35 as part of the text and on page 138 as part of the census (#W25).

This cover demonstrates a loophole that allowed westbound mail to be sent in bundles from the East Coast to St. Joseph by mail with only 3¢ domestic postage (rather than 10¢ for over 3,000 miles) prepaid. This loophole was eliminated in the Act of February 27, 1861 and required 10¢ postage on any letter crossing the Rockies.

This phenomenal cover began its journey in Austin, Nevada Territory, traveling westward by Pony Express to San Francisco, then began its eastward journey on the PMSS Golden Age to Panama (which departed San Francisco on Feb. 3), the lack of any postal markings indicates "door-to-door" delivery by Wells Fargo only and outside of the mails. This cover is the only recorded Virginia City Pony Express Cover to the east coast, as well as the only recorded Virginia City Pony Express Cover that traveled by steamer via Panama to the east coast.
