I commenced carrying their mail. I issued the stamp. I was a stamp collector & the howl it made, I hear it yet. A used one would be scarce. I carried the mail to & from the P.O. 1c each way. Yours, J.C. Jay", letter with red Richwood's Dispatch stamp with letter carrying pigeon attached at bottom, some splits on folds, also accompanied by eight other examples of Jay's stamps of three different types, two covers, incl. 1c postal entire with Jay's stamp tied by magenta pony rider (address panel cut out), Very Fine and fascinating first-hand account of Jay's Dispatch (Image)

4366 c ImageJefferson Market P.O., New York N.Y., (2c) Black on Blue Glazed (88L2). Large margins to just touching, uncancelled as usual, used on back of folded letter (in German) to Reading Pa., two datelines incl. Mar. 27, 1851, red "New-York 5 Cts. Apr. 15" integral-rate circular datestamp, opened for display, stamp has small surface scrapes and small tears, lettersheet has small tears and soiling

FINE. ONE OF FIVE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE JEFFERSON MARKET POST OFFICE STAMP ON BLUE PAPER -- EACH USED ON COVER, OF WHICH TWO ARE TIED.

The Jefferson Market P.O. was not officially connected to the New York Post Office, but used the "Post Office" designation in its name, much like Swarts and other contemporaries. The post is believed to have been operated by Godfrey Schmidt, who was listed in the 1850-51 city directory as Godfrey Smith at 6 Greenwich Avenue (source: Elliott Perry). In addition to the stamps issued by the Jefferson Market P.O., a stampless cover was reported by Thomas C. Mazza in The Penny Post (Jan. 1995). The stampless folded letter is addressed to Sing Sing N.Y. and bears a clear strike of a large Eagle-type frame containing "Jefferson Market Post Office/Y G. SCHMIDT & CO." in two lines. It also has a red New York Jun. 30 datestamp, and the letter is year-dated 1850. This 88L2 cover is clearly postmarked Apr. 15 (1851), which establishes at least a ten-month existence for the post, corresponding to the city directory listing for Godfrey Schmidt (Smith).

Our records contain four examples of 88L1 (Pink paper), all uncancelled off cover, and five of 88L2 (Blue paper) used on separate covers. The stamps were not cancelled by the post, but in two cases they are coincidentally tied by a postal marking. The five 88L2 examples are listed in our Sale 908, lot 4920.
