#147, fine, sound, tied on piece by XF strike of
oval commercial advertising hand stamp used as killer from
SHENANDOAH, PA. The killer reads, "Dealer in TOBACCO PIPES CIGARS
BOOKS & stationery etc. Shenandoah City, PA." It would
appear that the dealer's name was removed from atop the oval prior
to conversion of this hand stamp (likely used as an advertising
stamp on mailings) to a postal use. I speculate that this
killer originated from the personal business of the postmaster.
There were two during the period of use of Scott #147: Jonathan D.
Ellis (appointed 08/02/1865) and Henry C. Boyer (appointed
12/11/1872). I consider the latter the more likely, since he
had a more commercial presence in Shenandoah, being the publisher of
the local newspaper among other activities. This is a
wonderful, unusual and highly exhibitable killer on the 3 cent
issue. (HCS) |
