ONE OF ONLY TWO KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE CHESTNUT STREET LINE 1¢
BLACK ON PINK GLAZED ISSUE.
The Chestnut Street Line was a horse drawn omnibus that ran along Chestnut Street, and passed the Dock Street side of the Merchants' Exchange where the Philadelphia Post Office was located. According to
Elliott Perry in notes he had prepared for Eugene Costales (when Costales owned the only known cover from this Line), the western edge of this omnibus route was near the Schuylkill River, about two miles from the Post Office. No record
appears, however, of there having been a letter box located on the Chestnut Street Line, although there are records of other such traveling letter boxes on horse drawn omnibuses serving other, heavily populated sections of Philadelphia and its
environs (e.g., in the Kensington and Southwark Districts). Perry argues that the convenience of having such a traveling receptacle should be obvious with respect to houses and businesses located along or near Chestnut Street, but which were
not near the Post Office at Third and Dock Streets. (Image1)

Scott No. UX17; $16,000.
ONE OF
ONLY ONLY 18 KNOWN MINT EXAMPLES OF THE 1¢ BLACK FULL-FACE MCKINLEY POSTAL CARD.
The entire stock of 500 cards was inadvertently sent from Washington to Booth, Dailey & Ivins in New York where they were shortly thereafter pre-printed
with their address and garbage dumping information on the back to be filled out by the tug captain. As a result of the printing there remained no mint cards for collectors. This "Unmarked Specimen" long ago became accepted as a full mint card
in order to allow collectors to have a complete unused collection. Albert Daggett, the contractor for the printing of the Full Face card, was never able to satisfy the Post Office in Washington due to sub-standard quality of his productions. All
submitted samples were rejected and as a result the entire stock of 1,625,000 cards was ordered destroyed by the PMG on April 29, 1902. (Image1)
