San Francisco, pre-statehood California stampless cover, Jun 1 (1850) large orange-red circular datestamp with integral rate 40c due, transcontinental rate to New York City. Given 40c rate period, cover could be 1850 or 1851, however this large circular datestamp usage aligns to 1850 for June (was not in use a year later), pencil docketing on reverse states "letter dated 5/31/1850" consistent with assessment of circular datestamp, although letter no longer present. Manuscript "On Front between I and J streets, Sacramento City" referring to writer's location in early Sacramento, which was on the waterfront in 1850.

San Francisco, California, two circular datestamp dates of Feb 16 and Mar 1 (1853) along with matching 12 due handstamp applied over "clamshell ship-6" due marking. Manuscript ship endorsement "pr Leverett" top left. Daily Alta newspaper shipping records show this vessel arriving Feb 17, 1853. It is possible the circular datestamp date slug was still left from the prior day standard shipping departure on Feb 16. This cover just missed the outbound mail departure and received the next possible steamer departure of Mar 1. The improper ship-6 rate was overstamped with 12 due, 10 cent transcontinental plus 2 cent ship fee (6 cent ship marking is for local SF delivery only). Uncommon combination of post office markings.
