#2, fair, faults, (image)
tied by manuscript X cancel on fine FLS, vertical filing fold, with
red JAN 21, OZAUKEE, WIS. postmark and mailed to The Post
Master in Beverly, Virginia. The letter is
datelined Port Washington, WI, JAN 19, 1851, an Ozaukee County town
without post office at that time. This cover is one of only
two 1847 issue covers mailed from Ozaukee (a scarce Wisconsin DLO,
1849-79, Helbock rated 7) that is listed in The United States
1847 Issue, A Cover Census (the other bears a pair of #1s).
The Ozaukee post office received no 1847 issue stamps but they were
available, probably due to the town's proximity to Milwaukee.
All 1847 issue covers from Wisconsin are quite scarce, with only 65
recorded. Of the 33 listed 10 cent covers, 19 are from
Milwaukee. A wonderful and rare small town use from
Wisconsin of the U.S. first issue stamp. |
