Notes
5c Red Brown (1). Huge even margins all around, bright color, tied by perfect strike of red-orange "Elmira N.Y. Mar. 3" circular datestamp on blue folded cover to Cooperstown N.Y.
EXTREMELY FINE AND CHOICE. A SUPERB COVER IN EVERY RESPECT -- SHADE, CANCEL AND FRESHNESS -- AND, IN OUR OPINION, A RIVAL TO THE GEM 1847 COVERS POSTMARKED AT BENNINGTON AND BURLINGTON, VERMONT..
Purchased in 1950, this cover has had little exposure to light and handling, giving it remarkable freshness and color.
