Lot 193
Upscale lot of fake covers, selection of eight covers with fake cancels tying genuine stamps: a 5¢ New York Postmaster's Provisional, two 5¢ 1847 and three 10¢ 1847, 3¢ 1851 with fake Canton Miss. Christmas tree (Dec 25) and a 3£ 1861 on a Lincoln Comet patriotic; and two covers with fake stamps (1¢ Grafflin's Despatch (73L1) and C.S.A. 10¢ Frameline); all beautiful covers with the 9X1 and the 1847 covers bearing gorgeous 4-margin stamps (the '47s likely with lightened pen cancels, but no apparently so). A spectacular looking group of covers. Stamps alone, counting as pen cancelled, catalog $3,375.
