1847, 5¢ red brown (1), large margins,rich color tied by black grid, matching "N. Brunswich N.J. Apr 19" c.d.s. with manuscript "2 Cents" written inside postmark, on ca. 1849-50 white envelope to New York, additionally there is a light "2c" opposite stamp and a large "5" rate handstamp struck out in pen, Extremely Fine.
Estimate 3,000 - 4,000
Provenance: Seven Oaks
The 2¢ probably represents carrier service to the New Brunswick post office. The scarcity of mail from New Brunswick in this period makes it difficult to ascertain if writing a rate inside the postmark was standard procedure for this office, but study of local newspapers would shed light on whether carrier service operated. Whatever the explanation, this is an intriguing and unique 1847 usage.
