#65, fine, tied by a superb SOTN strike of

This cover (which has no content) bears a MAR 20, 1863
DAVENPORT, IOA postmark and fancy hollow geometric pinwheel
killer tying a fine Scott #65 with SE. The cover was mailed
to Hon. Samuel F. Miller, Ass. Justice of Sup Court, Washington,
D.C. It was then forwarded to his home in Keokuck [sic.],
Iowa (note, first written "Ohio", then overwritten), receiving a MAR
25 1863 strike of a large double ring Washington, D.C. postmark.
(The cover also has a lightly penciled "Fwd 3" rating at top.)
At left is the signature of the recipient, "S. F. Miller / ans"
(answered). This is an early example of the signature of Associate
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Freeman Miller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Freeman_Miller),
less than a year after his appointment to the court by Abraham
Lincoln in 1862. This is also an interesting Iowa postal
history item. The condition of the cover is good. It is intact, no
reduction, minor edge wrinkles and minor flap faults (some tears and
a small piece missing). Signature cards for Justice Freeman
can be found listed on autograph sites for over $300. This is
a much more interesting and significant signature example. |

ROSWELL, GA JUN 29 postmark on complete cover. This fantastic
Georgia fancy cancel is unlisted in Skinner-Eno. (I have

tears do not detract from this incredible item. |

#94, fine, sound, double grill variety, one grill quadruple
split (enlarged scan), tied by CANANDAIGUA, NY target killer on fine, unreduced illustrated Webster House
illustrated hotel cover, with red illustrated hotel letter sheet
content. An incredibly rare and desirable grill variety, unpriced in Scott,
possibly unique on cover. 2006 PFC, "a genuine usage,
the cover with scuffing along the right edge, and a small hole at
lower right." These cover faults are barely noticeable
and do not detract from this terrific, exhibition quality cover. |
