Lot 266 U.S. P .O., Philadelphia Pa., 1c Gold on Black Glazed (7LB11). Large margins to slightly in at right, faintly cancelled (not tied), used with 5c Brown (1), waffle-iron pinholes and ms. "X" cancel, tied by blue "Philada. Pa. 5cts Nov. 28" cds on blue folded cover to Doylestown Pa., Fine and scarce combination-six recorded by Meyersburg. (Color Photo, p . 39) E. 1,500-2,000

See Larry Lyons article in The Penny Post, Oct 2006, p44 where he states 7LB11 uses are recorded from March 1851 to Feb 1852, making a Nov use in combination with #1 unlikely.
Scott Trepel's study gives the EKU of 7LB11 as March 30, 1851, making this cover suspect.
