U.S 1847 Issue continued...

Foreign Mail
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
828 1 image1847, 5¢ red brown (Scott 1), used to England, current Earliest Day of Use, July 7, 1847. A lovely example with complete margins tied by New York red square grid cancel to folded lettersheet with invoice datelined 7th of July 1847, addressed to Messrs. T.W. Mackford & Co., Liverpool, England, 1/- due handstamp marking, manuscript Caledonia and backstamped Liverpool July 28, 1847 upon arrival, also evidence of a reversed impression of red backstamp that appears to resemble a "7" quite possibly from an underlying datestamp of a postmark, Very Fine, 2012 P.F. certificate.
Estimate $30,000 - 40,000

Likely the earliest 5¢ 1847 use and the earliest possible recorded date to a foreign destination, one of two recorded covers used from New York on July 7, 1847: one domestic use to Poultney VT and this datelined only cover to England which sailed on the Cunard Liner on its 2nd voyage of July 1847 aboard the "Caledonia", which departed from Boston on July 16th and arrived July 28th in Liverpool England.

This predates (by 7 days) the "Wagshal" 10¢ cover bearing a July 14th Philadelphia postmark and travelling aboard the same sailing vessel. That item realized $63,250.00.

The 5¢ 1847 stamp, along with the 10¢ were delivered to the New York Post Office (which was the converted Old Dutch Church), on July 1, 1847, the earliest date of record for the 5¢ is July 7, 1847 and two covers are known with the 5¢ reported by Alexander in "The United States 1847 Issue: A Cover Census", this one the listed example being used abroad .
