Notes
Lot 1 5c Brown, large margins and sharp impression, a very attractive copy, cancelled by striking red full HOUSATONIC RAILROAD 5 pm., tying stamp to small neat envelope to No. Worcester Mass. A rare and desirable marking.
The stamp has a tiny tear or abrasion in the bottom left corner that is barely visible and hardly detracts from the value of the cover.
H R Harmer sale 1460 (Oct 22, 1962)
Alexander listed as xx/xx/xx
PF 11363 cancel is genuine but stamp is defective.
This cover currently resides in the Charles A. Hirzel collection in the Museum für Kommunikation in Berne, Switzerland.
Letter addressed to Harriet Elizabeth Henshaw (1817-1896), eldest child of Elizabeth Hastings (1791-1866) and Horatio Gates Henshaw (1788-1860) (The Hastings Memorial)
Leicester is part of the Town of Worcester in Mass. North Worcester is part of the city of Worcester Mass. The address may not be No. Worcester but simply near Worcester as Leicester was relatively small in the mid 19th century.
