ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS UNLISTED KILLER.
This newly discovered NYFM was documented by Dan Richards in his article "NYFM Update, Part 2". The two recorded covers were used on the same day, March 21, 1874. This cancel was unlisted by Weiss, but we have designated a Weiss number that corresponds to the design style. This cover was carried on the French Line "Pereire" that arrived at Brest on March 30, 1874 as indicated by the entry backstamp.
