1861-67 Issues, Covers (#3)

Item # Description Price Picture
9561 #92, fine, sound F grill stamp tied by blue target killer with matching double ring MORRISON IL postmark on intact local drop letter cover, stain at UL corner. Cover contains an American Merchants Union Express Co. receipt. Scott catalog $475. $95
9492 #65, fine, sound, blue LOUISVILLE KY JAN 1864 postmark and grid killer ties to VF intact illustrated corner advertising cover picturing blue 3D box, Hoyt, Barbour & Co. SUNNYSIDE Fine Cut CHEWING TOBACCO. A beauty! Consigned to Kewriga Auctions, Chicagopex 2024
9331 #94, XF, #96 average, fine SE grill pair paying 20¢ domestic registration on intact ca. 1868 UNION PACIFIC R.R. corner cover tied by three strikes of NYC fancy star of David surrounded by inward pointing wedges (Milgram NY439), NEW YORK REGISTERED JUL 21 (Milgram R-NY-9) registry postmark.  I believe this killer to have been used exclusively on NY registered mail. Milgram (United States Registered Mail 1845-1870, Fig. 206, p. 135) illustrates a similar killer on an 1863 registered cover, differing by the fact that the surrounding wedges point outward. $300

8662 #65, fine, sound, NEW YORK 9 MAR 1863 double ring postmark with XF strike of fancy large circled Star of David with internal spokes killer (Skinner-Eno ST-6P 47) on VF cover just reduced at right. Stunning fancy cancel. Ex-ERIVAN. SOLD
8640 #65, fine, barely tied by VF-XF strike of patriotic circled shield with crossed branches (Skinner-Eno PS-C12) and NEW YORK, FEB 21 postmark on VF intact cover to Milford, CT, neatly opened at right. Scarce and desirable New York City fancy. $150
8659 #63, #65X2, fine copies, small faults, scarce double rate carrier, NEW YORK NOV 21 1862 postmark with extremely scarce 6-segment pinwheel killer (Skinner-Eno unlisted, Whitfield 3546 unattributed) on VF intact cover. Ex-ERIVAN. $95

$85

8663 #65, fine, NEW YORK JAN 4 1864 double ring postmark with XF strike of circular geometric killer (similar to Skinner-Eno GE-C 121-3) on green embossed cameo advertisement for fish commission merchant (codfish, mackerel, tongues & sounds, smoked halibut), tear in cameo. Nice combination of fancy cancel and advertising. Ex-ERIVAN. $75

$65
