Jan. 19, 185?" circular datestamp on brown cover to local address with Keeler & Coolidge Dry Goods, Clocks, Watches, Jewelry corner card, stamped illustration at right with "23" handstamp of unknown meaning, light soiling and missing backflap

FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT TYPE Ia PERFORATED ON A CORNER CARD COVER.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Most examples on cover are either off-center, have small faults or are used with other stamps. The example offered here, an attractive single on a corner card cover is most unusual.

With 1994 P.F. certificate
