York, Very Fine, in 1856, the supply of Eagle Carriers in Philadelphia was
exhausted, and for the first time, 1c regular postage stamps were used for
the carrier fee, thus requiring a new accounting procedure -- in this
period we find rare examples of 1c 1851's used for the carrier fee, as well
as use of the black grid or U.S.P.O. oval to cancel the stamp prepaying the
carrier fee -- Chase notes on back (Image) |
