Notes
One of the most important sales of United States Postmasters' Provisionals since the Caspary sale was the 278th sale of Robert A. Siegel held November 19. 1964. This sale was particularly strong in 9X1 stamps and covers. Lot 26 was a small ladies' envelope addressed to New Rochelle, New York, and then forwarded from the adjacent town of Mamaroneck, New York. This cover is one of the true gems of 9X1 philately and has a Philatelic Foundation certificate. It last sold privately in 1976 for $2,000 and is now in an important Eastern collection.
