Notes
1847 5c Red Brown (1), small tear at top with pen cancel & greenish blue "Ship" on cover, F-VF
Alexander listed as 2/2/51
PF 77802 #1, Mobile Ala and SHIP markings fraudulently added to genuine cover
PF 59471 #1 with vertical tear at op and genuinely used on cover with faded blue green ship and Mobile Ala Feb 2 5 cancel to Connecticut
[I presume this means the #1 is genuine dut did not originate and the blue postal markings are fake.]
