Only One other Known Cover. This is seldom offered, with the last sale 25 Years ago.

Cutting's Despatch Post, Buffalo N.Y., 2c Black on Vermilion Glazed (56L1). Poor impression, large margins to clear at bottom, uncancelled, thinned, Fine appearance -- this is the mysterious second example of the Cutting's Despatch stamp, which is illustrated in Sloane's records and was mentioned in our description of the unique cover in the Golden sale (lot 1015) -- it was acquired from Charles J. Phillips in 1926 and has some details that match the on-cover example; however, we offer this stamp "as is"

No Gum, Thinned.
