VERY FINE APPEARANCE. VERY FEW BALTIMORE ONE CENT DESPATCH COVERS SHOW TO-THE-MAILS USAGE. A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION AND FAR RARER THAN ITS WASHINGTON COUNTERPART.

Based on a cursory review of our records, it appears that there are six or seven covers with this combination.

Ex Kelly, Golden and Hackmey. With 2000 P.F. certificate
