#255, 3 fine copies, on VF intact U330, 5¢ Grant blue
entire, all canceled by two VF strikes of N.Y. SUPPLEMENTARY, MAY
4 PAID, 1895 Type F postmark, to Switzerland. This is a rather
scarce late use of this postmark. Piszkiewicz (United
States Supplementary Mail, U.S. Stamp Society, 2009) records a
1898 LKU for type F postmarks, which were applied at the G.P.O.
Supplementary mail oval postmark type G, applied at the pier, had
commenced use as early as 1891. |

#157, 3 copies on fine U163 entire paying the 9 cent
treaty rate to France, each canceled by blue Berea, OH AUG 25 (1875)
postmark and cork killers. All three stamps are double paper
variety. This represents only the fourth certified cover bearing
this scarce stamp variety and is the only one with multiple copies
and to a foreign destination. Cover was unsuccessfully
forwarded and returned to the U.S., a red SEP 23 New York receiving
mark on reverse. A marvelous and highly exhibitable
Banknote cover. 2010 PFC states, "It is a genuine
usage, the stamps with some toned perforations; the cover with a
vertical crease at left." |

#179, fine, tied by VF strike of NY numeral 1
simplex ellipse on F-VF tissue paper cover to Sidon, Syria.
The cover is neatly opened at right, back stamped TRIESTE and
BEIRUTH 1878. The JUL 13 station C postmark and ellipse killer
on front and back stamps verify that this is a JUL 13, 1878 usage.
This date precedes by several months the previously recorded OCT 8,
1878 earliest reported use on outbound mail, making this a new
earliest reported use. (See USCC News, Vol. 28, No.
1, Whole No. 258, February 2006 article by John Donnes, "New York
City Ellipse Foreign Mail Cancels.") |

#150, XF, small faults, cancelled by black New York
grid killer on VF intact cover to Brazil. Cover bears a
blue crayon "Due 8" deficiency mark over-stamped by boxed SHORT PAID
hand stamp. Scarce marking and destination. Stamp appear to be
lightly grilled (about 6 points of a grill corner are visible under
the killer), but possibly not enough to get certified. Thus,
item is offered as without grill. |

usage. The cover is a heavy vellum pre-printed business
envelope, unreduced and sealed on the reverse by a large red
embossed wax seal (back image). The

has a purple dated rectangular company hand stamp at left. The

killers. Part of the postmark has been removed by contact with
the wax seal of another similar cover placed over this cover. A
very attractive cover paying a scarce multiple rate with a nice
combination of stamps. |
