 3c Ultramarine (114). Tied by Woman in
Headdress fancy cancel with "Corry Pa. Jul. 2" (1870) circular datestamp on buff cover to Youngsville Pa. with real estate agent's illustrated corner card depicting bizarre "ginger bread" house, cover is well worn and lightly stained, but
the corner with the cancel and datestamp is Very Fine, a superb strike of this woman's bust in profile with hair pulled back in classic Victorian-era style, the buyer can either have the cover professional restored or cut out the corner -- our
estimate is extremely conservative considering the quality of the strike and rarity of this cancel (Image)Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
