Lot 167
OBJECTS: Spade; possibly, but unidentified 2 strikes, tying a pair of 1869, 3¢ ultramarine on envelope bearing a single strike of New Haven CT Mar 1 c.d.s. cancelling left stamp on envelope to Waterbury, Conn (not ex Gross) (114). Est. Cash Val. $200 - 250
We believe that the letter on arrival in Waterbury, with only 1 stamp cancelled, Post Master Hill being so fastidious, struck the cover with his fancy cancels as a receiver (done before) thus cancelling the untied stamp.
