Lot 535
Essex Vt. Aug 16, fancy postmark in blue with tiny Pointing Hand and similar small date, great clear strike with matching "5" on 1847 folded letter to Bakersfield, then forwarded with manuscript "Bakersfield Vt. Aug. 20" and "forwd" to Vineyard, Vt., originally totaled up to 10c, but then deleted though it’s not clear why since the error in address was the sender's, Very Fine. A very scarce marking in combination with an unusual usage and an uncommon destination.
Estimate 400 - 500
