Scott #1 1847 5c Franklin Single On Folded Letter ~ New York City To Albany (224)
1847 5c red brown Franklin (Scott #1) single nicely tied by a red square grid cancel on 1851 dated folded letter sent from New York City to attorney James Dexter at the "office corner of North Pearl & State Street" in Albany, New York. Matching red February 26, New York circular date stamp cancel at right. The stamp is affected by a file fold and has tiny margin faults at right, though still a fine and newly discovered piece of 1847 Issue postal history.
This folded letter is part of a recent find of sixteen 1847 Issue covers, all franked with 5c stamps. Offered to the market for the first time! The 5-cent stamp on this cover pays the rate for a letter weighing 1/2-ounce or less sent under 300-miles. This is the perfect item for the New York state postal history enthusiast, New York City specialist, student of 1847 Issue cancels or collector of classic U.S. covers.
