New York, N.Y., 1845, 5¢ black on bluish (Scott 9X1), margins except slightly in top left, tied by squared red grid on folded letter to Boston Mass., matching "New York May 5 5cts" cds and "Paid" h.s., Fine to Very Fine use. Estimate $200 - 300.
Docketed 5/5/48
Daniel F. Kelleher sale 622 lot 3814 realized 225
Robert A. Siegel sale 9047 lot 10145 realized 225
Square grid cancel indicates post Nov 1846 usage.
The docketing dates this cover to 1848, well beyond the start of the 1847 issue period that would have made this stamp invalid for the payment of postage, even from New York City.
