#1, two copies tied by two strikes of brilliant red
7-bar hand-carved grid killer with matching KALAMAZOO, Mic., NOV 5,
circa 1850 postmark on unreduced cover to Cooperstown, NY. This
cover is unlisted in The United States
1847 Issue, A Cover Census. All five of the other listed
5¢ covers bear only a single stamp; this is a unique multiple use.
Moreover, there are no 10¢ 1847 covers verified used from Kalamazoo.
The left of the two stamps is a sound, 4 margin stamp; the
right stamp is in at right and at upper left. The
2000 PFC mentions light creases, including
a horizontal crease through the postmark. The certificate does
not mention that a small strip of the cover
back under the flap is torn away. A beautiful and very
scarce Michigan 1847 issue cover. Ex Craveri. |

#1, brown shade, fine 3 margin copy, just touching at
bottom, canceled by VF blue numeral 5 rate mark with matching
LEE, Ms., AUG 16 (1849) postmark on VF FLS. Cover has 1979
Philatelic Foundation certificate. This is one of just
three listed Lee, Massachusetts 5¢ uses in The United States 1847
Issue, A Cover Census and the only one with the numeral killer. A scarce and very attractive
cover. |

# 1, red brown, VF 4 margin copy, sound (image),
tied on fine, intact wax sealed envelope by greenish blue 7 bar
grid killer with matching GREENSBURGH, Pa., MAR 27 (1850) postmark
(docketed 1850 at bottom left). This is one of 20 Greensburgh
covers listed in The United States
1847 Issue, A Cover Census. All are from one
correspondence to a Miss Anna B. Smith in Mercersburg, PA.
Cover has a 9 mm tear at top center but is otherwise entirely sound. |

#2, 4 margin copy, tied by red New York grid killer on
fine external FLS to
Rev. Wm. Jenks,
D.D. of Boston, canceled New York, JAN 1 (1851) with VF
BALTIMORE R.R. straight line railroad marking and manuscript
"Pd. by Stamp". This is a very scarce use of #2.
The United States 1847 Issue, A Cover Census lists only five 10c
covers, excluding this, with the BALTIMORE R.R. straight line.
1993 APS certificate ("genuine, stamp has tiny tear at left" with
nick at bottom not mentioned) with additional note from Mercer
Bristow. ("An adhesive disc was use[d] to apply stamp to
cover. Most likely the stamp had little gum at the time of use
and would not stay on envelope by itself.") |

#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. |

use from Hickman, Kentucky, which received only 200 10 cent
stamps. 1999 PFC. |
