Notes
7LB13 + 5¢ 1847: Cover to New York, May 5; 1¢ black with star cancel. See Chronicle 149: 14-16
Note: In the opinion of the author, no valid combination covers involving 7LB12 or 7LB13 + either 5¢ or 1O¢ 1847 postage stamps exist, since evidence indicates both these carrier stamps appeared after July 1, 1851.
Chronicle 152
Yet this got a good PF opinion:
1 1847 5¢ red brown SINGLES ON FOLDED ADDRESS SHEET, 5¢, BLUE PHILADELPHIA TOWN CANCEL, LOCAL RED "STAR" CANCEL.
AND WE ARE OF THE OPINION THAT
They Are Genuinely Used On Cover
