Chatham Square" red oval handstamp at lower left, light fold EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB QUALITY 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE COVER CARRIED TO THE MAILS BY SWARTS' CHATHAM SQUARE LOCAL POST. Although the Meyersburg census records 14 covers with the
5c 1847 Issue and various handstamped Swarts markings, only two 10c 1847 covers with the Swarts handstamp are listed (Chronicle 156, p. 244). This cover is a third example, and it is by far the finest. Signed Ashbrook. Ex Caspary, Hart
