8985 #2, VF sound 4 margin copy, close at bottom, tied by two overlapping strikes of magenta numeral 10 rate marks with matching HARTFORD, Ct. OCT 29 (1850) postmark on intact FLS to Marietta, OH. 2007 PFC. Alexander and USPCS census listed, one of only five reported #2 usages (including two bisects) from Hartford.  Ex-Dewey.  A great Connecticut and Hartford cover. $950
8677 #1, sound 4 margin copy, close at top left, tied by blue grid killer with matching PEEKSKILL, N.Y. MAR 16 (1848) postmark on intact FLS to Weston, CT (central vertical file fold, a cover wrinkle, not a crease, beneath the adhesive). Peekskill received no 1847 issue stamps, this being the only recorded use from here as listed in Alexander.  Photographed and recorded in the USPCS census, which notes three prior sales for this cover, including one for $875.  A rare 1847 issue usage and a real bargain. SOLD

Dansville received 900 10¢ stamps. Cover has an extensive auction history.  Its most recent recorded sale: Matthew Bennett International Sale 262 Lot 158, hammer price $1,250.  A terrific value at the the offered price for this beautiful 1847 issue cover.
