Notes
Lot 1318 1847, 5¢ red brown (Scott 1), clear to mostly large margins, tied by light strike orange May 27 circular datestamp on small envelope to Canandaigua, N.Y.; with original letter, Very Fine, not recorded in the Alexander Census.
Estimate $600 - 800
This was posted more than two months earlier than the only 5¢ cover recorded by Alexander. Le Roy received no 1847 stamps of either denomination and there are no 10¢ covers recorded.
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 659 realized 649
Not listed in Alexander
I do not understand the comment about the early posting of this cover. The other two covers in the census are dated 8/7/50 and 8/2/xx. This cover may have been posted before (in 1848, 49, or 50) or later (in 1851). If there is a year given in the internal dateline, the Kelleher lot describer did not provide it.
CDS date is MAY 27th from LEROY NY. The Y is faint in the shaded area to the left of Franklin’s head.
