Sale 1025, Lot 271, Carriers and Locals thru RevenuesHawkins' City Dispatch Post. Two strikes of blue two-line handstamp on multicolored glazed hand-painted Valentine addressed to Miss Mary Hore (or Hove) at No. 9 Dominick Street, with original enclosure, some slight edgewear

VERY FINE. A WONDERFUL COVER WITH TWO STRIKES OF THE HAWKINS CITY DISPATCH POST HANDSTAMP. THIS IS A PREVIOUSLY UNRECORDED DISPATCH POST, AND AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL IS UNIQUE.

Nothing is known about the Hawkins City Dispatch Post; the recent find of this cover is the only evidence of its existence. There is a Dominick Street in New York City (between Hudson and 6th Ave.) and so it most likely operated in New York.

From a new discovery and offered to the market for the first time. This should be the basis for a new listing.
