Notes
Lot 11170 5c pale brown, four margins, tied by red Rochester cds on envelope to Clifton Springs, fine Est. 300 sf
David Feldman SA sale Nov 1991
Not listed in Alexander.
David Feldman SA sale 222 (Dec 2020) lot 60357 estate group lot realized 2800 euro. (image)
Robert A. Siegel sale 1262 lot 51 realized 250
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 799 lot 373 unsold
Kewriga sale 10 lot 1150 unsold
Cover docketed No. 12 which may be an error since the other 12/20/50 cover has the same docket. While similar to that cover, the stamp here is clearly different as is the addressing.
The CDS appears to be DEC 20. The 2 is on top of the CE in cents and the 0 is to the left of the lower right 5.
It is possible that Thomas Montgomery sent two letters to his wife on 12/20/50; one addressed to her and the other addressed in care of her doctor.
