#156, fine, tied by an XF-superb strike of New York
circular mail (NYCM) killer comprised of letter H encircled by 6
wedges on VF intact unsealed circular. This newly
discovered letter H killer constitutes, I believe, the now fifth
such NYCM killer incorporating this letter in its design. Note
in the detail stamp scan that the right vertical bar of the killer
has a hollow circular spot. Close examination reveals a
distinct indentation here on the stamp indicating a nail or screw
attachment at this spot. The envelope contains the
original printed flier for U.S. Life
Insurance dated Oct. 18, 1873. This is an important
NYCM cover. |

#156, fine, tied by New York City station
A ellipse on local delivery cover, also tied by station A HELD
FOR POSTAGE. Another #156 added to complete the 2 cent local
delivery rate. This stamp is tied by large rectangular blue
grid, the same ink as used for postage due markings. This is a rare
use of blue postage ink in the New York City postal system.
Cover is missing its back flap. One of the most interesting
New York City covers that I have handled in a while. |
