AND WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT
IT IS A GENUINE USAGE, THE STAMP WITH A LIGHT HORIZONTAL CREASE ENTIRELY IN THE TOP MARGIN.
Lot 288 10c Black (2), large to huge margins, tied by red grid, matching Roswell Ga. cds on 1850 folded letter to Savannah, fine cover, stamps with tiny gum wrinkle and very light creasing entirely in top margin, very fine, beautiful appearance, signed Ashbrook
Robert G Kaufmann sale 66 (Hart) realized 1700
Alexander listed as 2/22/50 (but is really 2/27/50)
Ashbrook dated this cover 2/27/1850
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 659 lot 1337 realized 1770
Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries sale 1167 lot 2208 realized 1000 dates this cover as Feb 21
The CDS reads FEB 27. The lower portion of the 7 is vertical and, without any adjustment, is quite faint.
