Scott Number: R2c Collection Reference No. for Communications: 5905 Denomination/Type: 1c Playing Cards, red, perforated 2025 Scott Catalog Value: $ 305.00 Estimated Retail Value: $ 225.00 What is this? Cancel Method: Manuscript Cancel Date: May 28, 1863 Cancel or Company Type: Manufacturer or Industrial Trade Company: Oswego Starch Factory City: Auburn State: New York 1-cent and 2-cent Playing Cards used improperly as documentaries, along with two 10-cent Inland Exchanges paying the tax on an 1863 promissory note. It appears that someone later recognized that only 23 cents tax was affixed, underpaying the tax, and subsequently a 2-cent Bank Check was added to pay the full tax due. This is the first excample I have seen of the 1-cent and 2-cent Playing Cards together on document. If you have any information or comments about this cancel or stamp, please email me. |
