 $1.00, $2.00 Trans-Mississippi (292, 293). $1.00 in strip of four and single, used together with $2.00 and 50c Trans-Mississippi (291), 15c Indigo (274) and 4c Rose Brown (280) on large portion of package
wrapper, tied together by multiple strikes of "Springfield Mass. Apr. 5 `99" duplex, ms. at bottom, "$7.69/3rd Class postage/`Pastoral' refused admission"A SPECTACULAR COMBINATION OF THE THREE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI HIGH VALUES. A note on back, written at a later date explains this notation: "This carried large Gold framed oil painting from Springfield to Greenfield." Evidently a commercial usage - as such, it is the highest-rated, non-philatelic Trans-Mississippi piece known to us (Image Magnifier) |
