VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE COMBINATION OF A BLOOD'S LOCAL ADHESIVE WITH THE 1851 BROWN ORANGE SHADE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE.

The distinctive 1851 Brown Orange shade of the 5c 1847 Issue is found on covers from Philadelphia dated in May 1851 (as listed in Alexander's updated 1847 Census). According to Calvet M. Hahn (Collectors Club Philatelist, Sep.-Oct. 1986, p. 380): "It is clear that several of the 1851 shipments to Philadelphia included the brownish orange examples. These are shipments of January 5, February 10, April 12 and June 4."

The pair on this cover is a very bright shade which comes close to the Red Orange, Scott 1c. The impression and shade are characteristic of the fifth printing, which also produced the Red Orange. (Image)
