FINE. THE BOYCE'S CITY EXPRESS POST STAMP IS EXTREMELY RARE, WITH PERHAPS EIGHT TO TEN KNOWN ON COVERS AND ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE OFF COVER.

Very little is known about Boyce's City Express Post. Nothing in the city directories ties any particular Boyce to the post, nor are there advertisements or source material to identify the proprietor. Covers are dated in late 1852 and April 1855.

The stamp on this cover is illustrated in Pat Paragraphs (reprint, p. 367). Ex Golden (Siegel Sale 817, lot 574, realized $4,000 hammer). With 1999 P.F. certificate (Image)
