Browne & Co.'s City Post Office, Cincinnati O., 2c Black (29L2). Usual tight margins just barely in, used with 3c Dull Red (11), tied together by blue "Cincinnati O. Oct. 26" circular datestamp on brown cover to Mount Pleasant O., a bit worn and wrinkled

FINE. THE BROWNE & COMPANY 2-CENT IS A GREAT RARITY ON COVER, ESPECIALLY TIED IN COMBINATION WITH THE 3-CENT 1851 ISSUE.

The 1c stamp, 29L1, was designed with the "Brown & Co." spelling error. The correct spelling, Browne (with an "e"), appears on the 2c stamp and the markings used by the post. If the spurious Cincinnati "Dec. 7" carrier and local covers are disregarded, this is believed to be the only known combination tied in this manner.

Ex Piller. With 1959 P.F. certificate
