Lot Details

Stampless postal history collection, neatly-organized on pages, with over 45 items, most with a particularly interesting attribute, noting several ship letters including transatlantic, with 1840s/50s usages to the Switzerland, Italy, and France, as well as steamship markings of the “Steamer Dallas,” “Steamer Cora” and “Steam Boat Belle Creole”,  1845 “Forwarded by Hale & Co” with boxed “Collect / Six Cents / for / Hale & Co”, pretty ornately-bordered Valentine from Lockport to Boston, illustrated “Maps of the Routes of the American Express Co.”, 1812 cancelled free frank from Albany to Philadelphia with notation “Missent to Washington City”, etc, typical filing folds and other small faults to be expected in places, but a chiefly fine group with fascinating potential for further study.
