3c Orange Brown, Ty. II (10A). Position 92L2E, identified by Dr. Amonette as Intense Orange Brown and the knockout color of the stamp certainly justifies this, large margins to clear at top including portion of adjoining stamp at left, cancelled by clear strike of blue "Way 6" in circle on September 1851 docketed folded cover to Lynchburg Va., central file fold, Very Fine, this marking for the 5c collect fee plus 1c way fee was originally applied to stampless covers and was obsolete when struck on stamped covers such as this, it was applied to mail travelling on the James River & Kanawha Canal, its use on this cover with a beautiful Intense Orange Brown 3c stamp is very appealing, accompanied by newspaper cutout advertising the packet line from Richmond to Lynchburg, signed Dr. Amonette
