Annapolis, Maryland, (2c) Blue Handstamp (2XU1 var). Clear strike on cover front only with matching “2” handstamp addressed locally to Miss Jessie Steele, light file folds including one barely affecting marking

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL CLEAR STRIKE OF THE ANNAPOLIS POSTMASTER’S SEAL, WHICH WAS USED TO MAKE THE FAMOUS POSTMASTER PROVISIONAL ENVELOPES AND WAS ALSO RARELY APPLIED AS A POSTMARK.

Ex Middendorf. The Scott footnote to 2XU1 values the blue circle at $17,500.00 with “2” handstamped rate (on full cover).
