EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE USE OF WYMAN'S STAMP AFTER TAKEOVER BY OVERTON & COMPANY AND ALSO THE ONLY RECORDED DOUBLE-RATE WYMAN FRANKING.

William Wyman established his "cheap postage" letter express on August 1, 1844, with service between New York and Boston. On December 14, 1844, Wyman sold the business to Overton & Co. and announced that his distinctive Locomotive stamps -- the first stamps in the world to depict a train -- could be redeemed or used on mail given to Overton (reference: Richard Schwartz, Opinions). Only two recorded covers show acceptance of Wyman's stamps by Overton: the cover offered here and the one with a single offered in the Golden Collection (Siegel Sale 817, lot 1607).

Signed Costales. With 1987 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail for a single on cover with Overton handstamp is $10,000.00 (Image)
