Scott #1a, 5c grayish brown on an April 11, 1848 folded letter wrapper from Albion Mass to Saco Mass.
Rasdale sale 465
Not listed in Alexander
Note the description of this cover in the Rasdale auction has some errors. Both the towns of Albion and Saco are in Maine, not Massachusetts. While the state of origin is not listed in the UL corner, the letter could not have originated in Albion NY since it is about 518 miles from Saco with today’s roads.
