Notes
Lot 89 #1 5c Red Brown, large to huge margins all around except just in at bottom right corner, used in combination with D. O. Blood & Co. 1c black on bronze, the stamp tied by red square grid and both tied by matching bold New York Jul 18 pmk. on envelope to Albany with red straight line Philada Railroad; the Blood's has a crease, otherwise a very fine and scarce cover, ex. Moody with PF Cert.
