1841 "attached rate" handstamp
from Greenwich, NY; "G" poorly struck, with 10 cent rate to

device and scarce pre-1845 rate handstamp.

Beautiful
1894 registered cover with pair of 6 cent small banknotes (#224),
both
tied with New York registry ovals, assorted other markings, preprinted
cover to noted stamp dealer Hiram Deats; Nassau Stamp Co. on back
flap. Stamps are just clear of perfs at bottom but have beautiful
color and impression. A very pretty cover and a nice usage to pay
this
rate.

Nice TRAVELING POSTMASTER FRANK;
buff cover (no letter content), pencil docketing of 1850, Utica blue
oval, well struck, with free frank of the postmaster of Wimurt, New
York (Herkimer Cty. 1839-40, 1844-57, and
1874-1919). Interesting item from this presumably
scarce small post office; traveling franks are scarce as well.
