Schuyler J. Rumsey sale 113 lot 1061 unsold
Ed. note - Despite Kelleher's dating (2/4) I believe this is really the 2/14 cover because (1) the 4 is between the E and B, (2) there are faint ink markings below the F and E that may be a 1, and (3) this is a Valentine's Day cover (although back in the mid 1800's, "Valentine's Day" was celebrated the entire month of Feb.)
