Barr as early as October 1845 until sometime soon after Valentine's Day 1847, when Barr sold out to John R.

672 c ImageBouton's City Dispatch Post, New York N.Y. Balance of six covers, two with No. 18L2 adhesive, one stamp has a peculiar "erased" area at center, upon which the cancel is struck -- one wonders if this stamp was re-used or if the sender did not agree with Bouton's pro-Taylor politics (ex Golden), four others are stampless with Bouton City Dispatch Post red ovals, two of the stampless with toning or edgewear, overall Fine group (Image)
