Notes
Bouton's City Dispatch Post, New York N.Y., 2c Black on Gray Blue, Dots in Corners (18L2). Large margins all around, tied by red "Paid/Bouton" two-line handstamp, used with 5c Red Brown (1), large to huge margins, faint red crayon cancel, tied by three strikes of red grid with matching "U.S. Express Mail N.Y. N.York Oct. 24" route agent's circular datestamp on brown cover to York Me., additional red "Paid" straightline appears to be a Bouton's marking
EXTREMELY FINE AND VERY RARE COMBINATION OF THE 1847 ISSUE AND BOUTON'S "ROUGH AND READY" LOCAL-POST STAMP, INSPIRED BY ZACHARY TAYLOR'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. THIS IS ONE OF FIVE RECORDED 1847 AND 18L2 COMBINATIONS -- IT IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A U.S. EXPRESS MAIL ROUTE AGENT'S MARKING.
