December Auction

Closing January 5, 2009

Lot 41. Cover, Port de Paix to New York, two nice Port de Paix date stamps on front, one

containing the date, 27 August, the other containing 'Post Paid 20c' in a neat hand with

'Want of Postage Stamps' written above and below. This evidently was carried to New York

as a ship letter where it was accepted without postage due. The letters OK written on the

front in blue crayon. There is a NY date stamp on the reverse, 9-9-1903 The cover has a file

vertical file fold in the center that has weakened the paper and a tear is beginning at the bottom

(wants repair). Otherwise nice and interesting.
