Scott #1, horizontal pair, tied by two strikes of NY red square grid to piece of cover front with red NEW YORK FEB 29 (1848) cds
Only included in census because this piece is listed in Alexander’s book.
Year dated as 1848 as the only leap year in the 1847 period.
Information from the Thomas J Alexander Papers, American Philatelic Research Library (ARPL), Bellefonte Pa courtesy of Tara Murray & her staff.
Alexander listed as 2/29/48
PF 75258 #1, horizontal pair, genuine deep red brown genuinely used on cover
Alexander also lists another pair on cover to an unknown destination and addressee (piece?) dated 229/xx which also must be 1848. That listing has an accompanying PF certificate 75257 which is not yet posted on the PF site and may be a duplicate for this listing.
