1c Buff (112). S.e. at left, stamp defective, cancelled by Running Chicken fancy cancel of Waterbury Conn., also marked by blue German handstamp from Institute of Kirchenmusik in Erlangen, stamp defective

VERY FINE STRIKE OF THE RARE AND DESIRABLE RUNNING CHICKEN FANCY CANCELLATION OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT.

This stamp was probably used with 6c additional postage on a 7c Direct Mail rate cover to Germany. One can only dream of what the full cover looked like, but this complete Running Chicken is a great rarity and highly exhibitable.

With 2007 P.F. certificate
