VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED COVERS WITH THREE AMERICAN LETTER MAIL COMPANY SMALL EAGLE STAMPS.
The census of 5L1 covers maintained by John Bowman contains only one other cover with more than two stamps -- the other franked with a pair and a single. We have offered fewer than ten covers bearing even two stamps (nearly all pairs). This is a very rare triple-rate franking,

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE LARGEST SURVIVING MULTIPLES OF THE BROADWAY POST OFFICE STAMP. AN OUTSTANDING EXHIBITION ITEM.
The largest recorded block -- the ex-Jarrett block of 32 -- was divided into eight blocks of four (confirmed by photo). The next largest multiple is the block of 25 offered from the Siegel sale of the D.K. Collection (Sale 862, lot 66), which was found in a desk during the early 1900's and reported in 1955 by Marie F. Craig, who received the block from her uncle.

FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE CALIFORNIA CITY LETTER EXPRESS STAMP AVAILABLE TO COLLECTORS.
Our records contain five examples of the Red 33L1 stamp. Two additional Type I stamps in black-and-white photos cannot be identified by color. One 33L1 (cut to shape) is contained in the British Library's Tapling collection. Of the four confirmed 33L1's available to collectors, two are used alone on separate covers addressed to Lieut. Col. J. H. Stearns in San Francisco (one ex Middendorf and Geisler, the other ex Wiltsee). The third is an uncancelled stamp off cover (ex Lilly, the example offered here). The fourth is used on cover with a U.S. 10c stamp (ex Lichtenstein, Caspary, Golden and Lyons).
