550 c ImageHonour's City Post, Charleston S.C., (2c) Black on Bluish (4LB13). Ample margins to slightly in at bottom left, tied with 3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26) by "Charleston S.C. Mar. 11, 1858" circular datestamp on small cover to Lynchburg S.C., manuscript "2" on Honour's stamp also ties 3c stamp, backflap tear and small scattered toned spots

FINE APPEARANCE. ONLY TWELVE GENUINE COVERS ARE RECORDED WITH THE BORDER-OF-LINKS STAMP ISSUED BY HONOUR'S POST IN 1857-58. ONLY FIVE COVERS ARE KNOWN TO US WITH 4LB13 TIED IN COMBINATION WITH THE 3-CENT 1851-57 ISSUE.

The border-of-links carrier stamp issued by Honour in late 1857 is extremely scarce. Evidence of 4LB13's rarity is the small number of examples contained in the Caspary, Boker, Hessel and Golden collections. Larry Lyons records twelve 4LB13 covers (The Penny Post, October 2007), but only five covers in our records have 3c 1851-57 stamps and the 4LB13 tied.
