Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries Inc. sale 803 unsold
Christie's sale 6096 lot 66 realized 715. Date given as 5/16/46 and pos. 15.
Vahan Mozian sale 481 (Norvin Green) Jan 19, 1956 lot 111 realized 90 dates this cover as May 16, 1846
Robert A. Siegel sale 1125 lot 616 realized 475 (image) dates this cover as May 10.
The CDS is definetly not MAY 10. There is definitely an indentation midway up the right side and a less evident one along the left side. The upper right is a bit faint but, to me, this looks more like an 8 than a 6.
