FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE COMBINATION OF THE BOSTON CARRIER DEPARTMENT'S SECOND ISSUE AND THE 1847 ISSUE, WHICH OVERLAPPED IN USE FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD IN 1851. A COLORFUL AND VERY DESIRABLE 1847/CARRIER COVER. ONLY THREE ARE RECORDED.

According to notes by Elliott Perry, the second Boston carrier stamp, 3LB2, is known used as early as April 30, 1851. The 1847 Issue was demonetized after June 30, 1851. Therefore, the Boston 3LB2 stamp could be used with the 1847 Issue for a very brief period of two months, possibly three.

Illustrated and described in Chronicle 222 (copy accompanies). With 1998 P.F. certificate (Image)
