Notes
1847, 5¢ red brown (1), seven covers each with a single 5¢, towns include Augusta, Ga., Albany, N.Y. (2, one with black grid), Burlington, Vt., Fall River, Ms. (may not belong), Owego, N.Y., and Troy, N.Y., three with 4 margins; some faults, generally Fine lot. Estimate 500 - 750
Matthew Bennett International Sale 277 Lot 293 realized 1700
Alexander listed as 11/xx/xx
Robert G Kaufmann sale 36 lot 176
Alexander also lists an 11/xx/xx cover from Augusta, Maine to Greensboro, Ga with a single 5c stamp. That listing is probably an error based on this cover since the distance from Maine to Georgia is more than 300 miles and would be underpaid by a single 5c stamp. That listing has been removed.
