Browne & Co.'s City Post Office, Cincinnati, 1c Black (29L1). Ample to large margins, very small tear at bottom, tied by black "City Post" in circle handstamp on buff cover to local street address, few minor wrinkles

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USE OF THE BROWNE & CO. ONE-CENT STAMP TIED ON A LOCALLY-ADDRESSED COVER.

Although Lyons records 33 1c Browne & Co. covers, the 1c is much rarer used alone on a local Cincinnati cover versus to-the-mails outbound usage. Lyons records only three such covers, plus one local cover with three uncancelled 1c stamps (The Penny Post, July 2004).
