Clark & Co., New York N.Y., 1c Red on Yellow (48L1). Large margins to clear at upper left, tied on piece by part strike of blue "Brady & Co. City Despatch Post, 97 Duane St." oval handstamp, Fine, Abner S. Brady bought out Clark & Co. in July or August 1857 and issued his own identical letter-box stamps; however, here we have the old Clark & Co. stamps accepted by Brady and cancelled with his unique oval marking -- to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the Brady cancel on a Clark stamp has been noticed, ex Golden and Kuphal, Scott Retail as used and without premium for on piece
