3c Orange Brown, Ty. I (10A). Full to clear margins all around, wonderful depth of color and proof-like impression, tied by bold dark blue "Due WAY 1c" in frame with integral grid, an extremely rare marking created to cancel the stamp and indicate the way fee in one operation, matching "Mobile Ala. Jan. 21" (1852) circular datestamp on greenish folded cover to Providence R.I., probably originated in New Orleans

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE MOBILE "DUE WAY" MARKING.

Ex Emerson and Dr. Graves ("Argentum").
