VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THIS ROUTE AGENT'S MARKING TO CANCEL THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE.
According to the Alexander census book, the marking was used on non-contract steamboats carrying mails between New York City and Troy. At Troy the mails would enter the U.S. mail system (or vice versa). The town circular datestamp would also be used to indicate where it entered the mails, and this is what was used to cancel the stamps on the three known covers.
