EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THREE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE BLACK "OVERLAND VIA LOS ANGELES" IMPRINT ON A 10-CENT ENTIRE.

In September 1858 the Overland Mail Company started regular semi-weekly stagecoach service along the so-called "Butterfield Route" between San Francisco and St. Louis via Los Angeles. A variety of markings, printed and handstamped, were used on mail to designate this route. This "Overland via Los Angeles" three-line imprint is found on 3c and 10c Nesbitt entires, in red or black, with or without the Wells, Fargo & Company's frank, and one plain envelope. A census quickly compiled from our Levi records and other sources counts 17 entires in total (excluding the plain envelope with a 10c adhesive). There are 9 on the 3c and 8 on the 10c. Sorted by date, the data indicate that the 10c entires preceded the 3c. Sorted by color, all of the 3c entires have a black imprint, while the 10c divides into 3 black, 5 red. The additional Wells, Fargo & Co. frank is found on 4 of the 3c (black frank) and 4 of the 10c (red frank). The match in color between the red imprint and red Wells, Fargo & Co. frank on the 10c entires indicates that the two were applied simultaneously.

Illustrated in Letters of Gold (p. 248). Ex Haas. (Image)
