TERRITORIAL LADIES COVER ............................... PH
4280
$300
Embossed ladies cover franked with horizontal strip of 3 from
plate 2 and tied by July 28 (1850s) Concord M(innesota)
T(erritory) cancels, strip margins vary from ample to just in,
rubbing at bottom left causing small holes of no effect to cancels
or franking. Scarce and fine.
More than 150 stampless folded letters, almost all related to
Steamship or Maritime mail, but a few British domestic as
well. Includes circled ‘STEAMSHIP 10’ and ‘20’ markings on
1850s folded letters (business correspondence), as well as some
New York ‘Packet’ and ‘Ship’ markings. Remainder mostly
Transatlantic mail, mainly to the United States but about 20 to
other destinations, with many interesting rates and markings.
We didn’t see rubber stamped ship markings, but many noted
by designated ship, ‘per’ Europa, Canada, America, Great
Western, Cunard Line or others. Few ?????????????????)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????)?????
