Floyd's Penny Post, Chicago Ill., (1c) Blue (68L1). Enormous Jumbo margins all around, dark shade and detailed impression, tied by perfect clear strike of "Floyd's Penny Post Chicago" double-oval handstamp, used with 3c Dull Red, Ty. III (26), tied by blue grid, matching "Chicago Ills. Mar. 25" double-circle datestamp on cover addressed in blue to Grafton Mass., lightly cleaned

EXTREMELY FINE. AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB COMBINATION COVER WITH THE FLOYD'S PENNY POST BLUE STAMP AND 3-CENT 1857 ISSUE.

To-the-mails uses of this stamp are much scarcer than locally-addressed covers. Floyd's Penny Post covers with the 3c 1857, rather than the 3c 1861, are also extremely rare.

Ex Kuphal. With 2011 P.F. certificate. Listed but unpriced in Scott used with No. 26
