VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED ALBANY N.Y. FIRST DAY USE OF THE FIRST POSTAL CARD ISSUE.
The May 1, 1872 and May 1, 1873 Trow's New York directories list James M. Austin at 224 Centre St. (residence) and at Centre & Grand Streets in the Masonic Grand Lodge listing (he is also listed at the subordinate lodge "Odd Fellows Hall" at 274 Grand). The May 1, 1874 Trow's Directory lists James M. Austin at a new address for the Masonic Grand Lodge at 75 West 23rd Street. It also lists his residence as changed to 380 6th Ave. This evidence, which accompanies the lot, makes it clear that the May 13 use of this UX1 postal card from Albany must have been 1873. (Image)
