ONE OF THE EARLIEST RECORDED POSTAL MARKINGS FROM MARYLAND IN PRIVATE HANDS. AN OUTSTANDING ARTIFACT OF THE COLONIAL POSTAL SYSTEM.
Siskin reported his 1760 Annapolis cover as the earliest recorded postmark from Maryland, apparently unaware of this Annapolis port-of-entry postmark dated nearly 25 years earlier (the Marlboro cover offered as lot 2516 in this sale, with a docketing date only a few days earlier, is the earliest known to us). The sender, identified in the docketing as Samuel Midgley, probably resided in England. The rate includes the 3dwt (6p) postage from Annapolis to Philadelphia and the 16gr (2p) ship captain's fee.

VERY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THE RARE "ANNA/POLIS" STRAIGHTLINE.
