Carriers and Locals, Cont., Sanitary Fair, Christmas Seals
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
4351   Image(Cummings and Wright) City Despatch Post Office, New York N.Y., 2c Black on Pink Glazed (40L3). Full to large margins, lightly cancelled by red "Free" in frame, small thin spots, minor corner creases, still an Extremely Fine appearing example of this rare stamp, only approximately twelve are known and all have faults, as best we can determine, the 2c on Pink glazed paper (Scott 40L3) was first issued by Cummings & Wright (the earliest documented use is May 15, 1847 -- see Sale 830, lot 567), examples cancelled in red were probably used during the Cummings & Wright period, while the use of black ink probably signifies the change in ownership to Charles Cole (October-November 1847) (Image)
